New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said New York State Police will take over responsibility for investigating all future sexual assault cases involving Cornell University, according to UPI.
The move shifts oversight of such cases away from the university's own campus security and investigative processes and places it directly in the hands of state law enforcement.
Details on what prompted the decision and how the new arrangement will be implemented were not included in the available reporting, but the announcement marks a significant change in how allegations at the Ithaca, New York campus will be handled going forward.
