Ex-Cornell student accused in fraternity lawsuit barred from Florida university, report says
Article here. Excerpt:
'A former Cornell University student named in a civil lawsuit alleging a 2024 fraternity house gang rape has been barred from the Florida university where he later enrolled, the Daily Mail reported.
Jonathan Newell, 21, was ordered to stay off Nova Southeastern University property after complaints from parents, according to the British tabloid. The university did not name him. In a statement Sunday, NSU President Harry Moon said the allegations “may involve a student who later transferred to NSU.” The university said it was unaware of the allegations when the student was admitted and that federal law limits what it can disclose. The statement did not say whether the student is still enrolled.
Mr. Newell is one of seven former Chi Phi fraternity members named in a lawsuit filed Sept. 16 by a woman identified as Jane Doe. She alleges she was coerced into taking ketamine and then sexually assaulted at the fraternity house on Oct. 19, 2024.'
