Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Cornell University was dropped from membership in the Ivy League amid the “Cornell 7” gang rape lawsuit.
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Cornell University was not removed or dropped from the Ivy League. Snopes found no evidence that such an action occurred amid the lawsuit, and the viral claim falsely presented a nonexistent change in Cornell’s Ivy League status as fact.
