rmer student, known as Jane Doe.

Some groups are also planning to host a seven-hour sit-in on Wednesday  in solidarity with Jane Doe,  according to social media flyers for the event.

The lawsuit Doe filed last month against the university, the Chi Phi fraternity, seven fraternity members and others alleges the school failed to protect her and adequately punish the accused students.

The ensuing fallout has raised questions about how Cornell police handled Jane Doe's allegations, how much information was shared with the district attorney's office, the prosecutors' initial decision not to file charges, and whether the school's internal investigation and actions went far enough.

Here's the latest:

 We're all angry,  Cornell president says: During a meeting with Cornell's Graduate and Professional Student Assembly on Monday, university President Michael Kotlikoff acknowledged the mounting frustration across campus as more details and questions emerge about Doe's 2024 allegations.  We're all angry. I understand that anger,  Kotlikoff said, according to The Cornell Daily Sun.  People want easy answers to this.  The president previously released a video statement promising further review and answers, saying Doe's case highlights  heartbreaking and troubling issues about sexual assault, dehumanization, and aspects of party culture, alcohol, and drug use.

Faculty move closer to no-confidence vote: A resolution was submitted Monday evening to a university faculty committee, which will review the measure before it's added to the Faculty Senate's meeting agenda for October 14, Ortiz said. The Senate is Cornell's main legislative advisory and review body, with more than 75 members representing the university's faculty. So far, about 40 senators have supported a resolution to take a vote of no confidence, Ortiz said. CNN has reached out to Cornell officials for comment.

Protesters support Doe: Professors joined students at Monday's rally, where demonstrators held signs reading  Justice for every Jane Doe  and  Cornell admin betrays survivors resign now.  Professor Julia Chang said she supported student protesters.  They say Cornell has a rape culture, and I don't disagree,  Chang said.  But this statement can make rape sound inevitable. Rape should not be inevitable.

Vandals damage administration building: Earlier Monday, activists smashed a glass door and painted messages, including  smash the patriarchy,  on the walls of the administration building on campus, The Cornell Daily Sun reported.

Letters to wireless carriers : Newly obtained documents show Cornell police drafted letters to wireless carriers related to  investigating a sexual assault incident  about a week after Doe first reported the alleged assault to university police and drafted letters to Verizon and T-Mobile asking them to  preserve all available data,  including texts, calls, and picture and video messages associated with accounts that  may contain evidence pertinent to the ongoing investigation.  It's not clear whether investigators ever sent the requests, followed up with subpoenas, or whether Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten was aware of them. Van Houten has said his office only received from police a six-page statement signed by Doe and Snapchat screenshots. CNN has asked the carriers whether they received the requests from Cornell and if they complied.

State attorney general takes over the case: Days after Van Houten reopened the investigation, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she had  lost faith  in the district attorney's ability to handle the case and appointed state Attorney General Letitia James to take over as a special prosecutor. The state attorney general's office, which does not have a history of investigating sex-related crimes, has reached out to experienced attorneys outside the office to bolster its investigative team, people familiar with the matter told CNN.

Doe's attorney expresses confidence in James: Thomas Giuffra told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday he had an initial call with James' office last week and believes the investigation will be handled fairly, with a new set of eyes on evidence Doe's team has collected - including recordings of calls between her and some of the accused, as well as emailed apologies. Giuffra said he believes other photos and videos related to the alleged assault existed but may have been destroyed. He added it is even possible more people were involved:  We will never know because of such an inadequate investigation that was done.

Prosecutors refused additional evidence: The Tompkins County district attorney's office - which handled the 2024 criminal investigation - declined at the time to review additional evidence, including more interviews gathered by the campus police department, beyond a six-page statement signed by Doe, according to records obtained by The New York Times. Prosecutors did not express interest in the additional evidence because they had decided, based on Doe's statement, that  criminal charges would not be pursued in this case,  a Cornell police investigator wrote in a note documenting the call, according to the Times.
