College Crimes examines campus cases and the institutional decisions around them. Our coverage connects documented events, reporting systems, and university responses so students, families, alumni, and other readers can understand what happened and why it matters.
What We Cover
We cover Campus Cases; Hazing & Greek Life; Abuse & Institutional Response; Athletics & Power; Fraud & Corruption; and Campus Safety. These subjects often meet in the same story. A case may involve student safety, administrative responsibility, disciplinary action, public records, and the consequences of decisions made behind institutional doors.
Our guiding questions are direct: What did the institution know? What could it do? What did it choose, and what followed? We examine the actions of administrators, athletic programs, student organizations, and other institutions while keeping the people affected by those decisions in view.
How We Examine the Record
College Crimes follows documented decisions. Our articles draw on court records, university and regulator reports, independently commissioned investigations, campus safety records, contemporaneous student journalism, established local reporting, and documented survivor or family accounts. We read an institution’s response alongside the underlying findings and explain the difference between criminal proceedings, civil cases, campus discipline, and university decisions in plain language.
Where to Begin
Start with our examination of the Cornell 7 case, which organizes the allegations, timeline, and investigation while identifying important questions about the available record. Across College Crimes, readers can explore individual cases and the systems colleges use to receive reports, investigate misconduct, impose sanctions, and promise reform.
