- Former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates is expected to lead Cornell’s announced independent, comprehensive review.
- The examination covers prevention, reporting, investigations, support, hearings, discipline, campus-police roles, and fraternity and sorority oversight.
- Yates’s work will remain distinct from the criminal inquiry conducted by Letitia James in her special-prosecutor role.
- Yates and her team are expected to report to a special trustee committee, which plans to share findings and recommendations.
It is imperative that Cornell be willing to examine itself with the same rigor we expect of others. We want to understand not just what happened in 2024, but how Cornell can become a leader in preventing sexual violence, supporting those who come forward and responding to allegations rigorously, fairly and compassionately, Smalling said.— Anne Meinig Smalling, chair of Cornell's Board of Trustees, commenting on the announced independent review of Cornell's handling of sexual misconduct.

- Hubig urged officials in Saxony-Anhalt to oppose unlawful instructions from a possible AfD state government.
- Anyone considering instructions unlawful must clearly raise those concerns internally, Hubig said.
- She described the judiciary as independent, while prosecutors remain part of the executive and face limited ministerial authority.
- For violations by a state government, the federal government could petition the Federal Constitutional Court or direct agencies with Bundesrat approval.
Civil servants swear an oath to the Constitution.— Stefanie Hubig, Federal Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection, said this to the Funke media group (Saturday editions).
