Fraternity President Accused of Sexual Assault Files Civil Suit Against Cornell University

May 18, 2016

A motion filed by the student, Wolfgang Ballinger, seeks a temporary suspension of Cornell’s ongoing internal investigation. The suit argues that Cornell’s administrative policies have violated Ballinger’s due process rights by denying him the chance to have a fair hearing because “it does not provide the accused student a fair and reasonable opportunity to defend himself.” A judge granted Ballinger’s request.
