The woman who has alleged that ⁠she was drugged ⁠and raped by Cornell University students has been the target of threats, her lawyer said on Sunday.

    To keep their reputation of supporting rapists? You would think they would want to have a reputation of expelling them.

      I mean, The only thing I know about them is that they are ivy league and its the school where you can get drugged and gang raped by half a dozen men for hours.

      And they won’t even expell your rapists.
