Cornell University. (iStock)Fraternity Psi Upsilon is shutting down its chapter at Cornell University after an alleged assault that authorities said is being investigated as a possible hate crime. Following an incident, apparently involving members of Psi Upsilon, in which a white student allegedly attacked a black one, Cornell President Martha Pollack said this week that pending an investigation, the university would not reinstate the fraternity. Cornell had revoked the fraternity’s recognition last year for violating its code of conduct, according to the Associated Press. The incident comes more than a year after members of the Cornell chapter were suspended and banned from all Psi Upsilon functions, according to the fraternity.
