Cornell University police made a drug-related arrest at a fraternity house 22 hours before a former student alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted there, according to a campus daily crime log reviewed by NBC. The log does not identify the drugs involved or establish any connection between the incidents. The timing of the arrest and the subsequent allegation have raised questions about the fraternity's environment and whether the university could have intervened to prevent the assault. The former student's allegation has sparked protests and demands for greater accountability from Cornell administrators. NBC News' Valerie Castro reports on the details from the crime log and the ongoing investigation. The university has promised a transparent review, but critics argue that more must be done to protect students and hold perpetrators accountable.
