Cornell rarely expels students in sexual assault cases

Original: Cornell rarely expels students in sex assault cases | Exclusive

A USA TODAY exclusive reports that Cornell University rarely expels students found responsible for sexual assault. According to the report, a third of undergraduate women at the school say they have been sexually assaulted, yet Cornell has averaged expelling just one attacker per year. The finding raises questions about how the university disciplines sexual misconduct and whether its sanctions match the scale of the problem on campus.

Why now: The exclusive data on low expulsion rates despite high assault numbers is drawing scrutiny of Cornell's disciplinary practices.
