(FILES) Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on "Going Dark: Encryption, Technology, and the Balance Between Public Safety and Privacy" July 8, 2015 on Capitol Hill. Cornell University on October 6, 2026, named Sally Yates, a former top US prosecutor, to assess the elite college's handling of an alleged 2024 gang rape of a student that has provoked national outrage. The incident, as alleged in a graphic lawsuit filed last month, has drawn accusations that the Ivy League institution in New York state failed to properly punish the men involved. Cornell said that Sally Yates, who served as deputy US attorney general from 2015 to 2017 and briefly led the Justice Department, would conduct a "detailed review" of the university's response to the rape allegations.
