Bill Maher criticizes Cornell and fraternities over sexual assault lawsuit
Bill Maher criticized Cornell University and fraternities on his Friday-night show, “Real Time.”
Maher graduated from Cornell in 1978.
His comments came amid a lawsuit by a student who says seven men raped and drugged her at a fraternity party in October 2024.
She alleges Cornell failed to protect her; the university’s investigation expelled two men and gave five others lesser punishments.
The claims are allegations, and Maher noted that no one knows what happened.
He called for Greek life to be abolished, arguing that fraternity culture can worsen drinking, bullying and mistreatment of women.
The case has been reopened, and New York Attorney General Letitia James has been assigned to it.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Cornell sucks and I fucking hated it.
What I do know is this alleged gang rape at the Cornell frat house is deeply disturbing.
Any place that’s all male, no girls allowed, just doesn’t function without depravity.
A gentleman, gentlemen, is someone who, in that situation, doesn’t exploit the woman; he saves her.
