Cornell attorney argues university concealed Title IX rape findings to protect reputation
Attorney Thomas Giuffra told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that Cornell University downplayed findings from its Title IX investigation and failed to fully share evidence of alleged rape and misconduct in order to protect the institution's reputation. Giuffra also argued that delayed recognition of sexual assault among survivors follows a documented psychological pattern, and that criticism of the Cornell Jane Doe accuser reflects a misunderstanding of trauma responses.
