"In September 2015, a final written report from the investigation was issued, "recommend[ing] that the Dean find that a preponderance of the credible evidence supports the conclusion that [Vengalattore] . . . had a romantic or sexual relationship with [Roe], a student he directly supervised," but "that no specific finding be made as to whether the first sexual encounter rises to the level of sexual assault as defined by Policy 6.4," which is Cornell's Title IX policy."
