Why we used this label
Manne criticizes the adequacy of the university's response and demands changes to how it handles sexual assault.
Cornell says its investigation led to expulsions and suspensions. Critics say its response to the Chi Phi allegations was inadequate and opaque. The civil complaint mentions essays as a way to mitigate conduct, not as the only sanction.
