Cornell's own statements say temporary suspensions and other restrictive measures were issued against students when the conduct was reported, which supports the core of the claim.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What was said
… So I should say that Cornell did take some actions following this report. According to both Cornell and third-party reporting, the university did temporarily suspend the Kai Fi fraternity and impose some temporary suspensions or restrictions on students accused in connection with this incident while they investigated. Cornell University's police did contact that DA, which, like, okay, a lot of good that did, and prosecutors again reviewed the allegations and ultimately decided not to, you know, pursue criminal charges under New York State law. …
Behind the Bastards · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Cornell's statement says that during its Title IX investigation, temporary suspensions and other restrictive measures were used against the accused students.[1]
Supports. Cornell's FAQ states that temporary suspensions and other restrictive measures were issued when the conduct was reported.[2]
Context. The sources identify the fraternity as Chi Phi (Xi chapter), which Cornell closed in 2024 and bars from campus; the post's 'Kai Fi' appears to be a name error.[1][2]
Context. Sources do not specifically describe a temporary suspension of the fraternity chapter itself, only the later closure and ban, so that part is only partly addressed.[1][2]
