The moratorium comes amid continued outrage over the handling of the alleged 2024 gang rape of a student by fraternity members.

A rally was held in downtown Ithaca on Sunday to show support for Jane Doe, a former Cornell student who sued the university over allegations that she was raped by seven fraternity members in 2024. The crowd was overwhelmingly made up of women from different generations.

Mayor Robert Cantelmo wants the city to place a moratorium on all student event permits, including Greek life gatherings. He says the university “failed to contact or coordinate any response with the Ithaca Police Department” following the alleged drugging and rape of a student in 2024.

The number of municipalities reconsidering the use of Flock Safety's A.I.-powered automatic license plate readers is growing. The Binghamton City Council is considering whether to renew one of its contracts with the company.

Residents of the 4th Ward will be able to apply for the position.

There could still be a referendum in 2027.

Residents had to leave the building more than two weeks ago after the city issued an order to vacate, citing fire safety concerns.

There are more than 180 apartments in the building, including 40 that were set aside for people transitioning out of homelessness.

Ithaca’s Common Council passed a measure Wednesday that would sever ties with Flock Safety, which makes automatic license plate readers.

They joined a nationwide wave of protests on Friday.
