A lawyer for one of the seven men accused of participating in a Cornell University gang rape has called for the special prosecutor on the case to recuse herself over past public comments.
被指控参与康奈尔大学轮奸的七名男子之一的律师呼吁案件特别检察官在过去的公开评论中回避自己。
The lawyer had said a social media post from New York Attorney General Letitia James throws into question her investigation's "integrity and independence".
该律师表示，纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯在社交媒体上的一条帖子质疑了她调查的"诚信和独立性"。
In the 28 September post, James wrote that "what this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable" and told survivors that "we stand with you".
在9月28日的帖子中，詹姆斯写道"这位年轻女性被迫忍受的痛苦是可怕且不可接受的"，并告诉幸存者"我们与你们站在一起"。
The university's administration is under fire over its alleged mishandling of the October 2024 incident and, according to US media, now faces a no-confidence vote by Cornell faculty.
据美国媒体报道，康奈尔大学的行政当局因涉嫌处理10月2024事件的不当行为而受到抨击，现在面临康奈尔大学教员的不信任投票。
The university's Faculty Senate, a governing body comprised of professors and other academic staff, will vote on a resolution of no confidence next week, according to reports. Cornell is an Ivy League university, alongside Harvard and Yale, and its faculty includes Nobel laureates and other distinguished researchers.
据报道，该大学的教员参议院是一个由教授和其他学术人员组成的管理机构，下周将对一项不信任案进行投票。 康奈尔大学是一所常春藤联盟大学，与哈佛和耶鲁并列，其教员包括诺贝尔奖获得者和其他杰出的研究人员。
A majority no-confidence vote would be a largely symbolic gesture, signalling the broader faculty's discontent and applying pressure on university leadership to act.
多数不信任投票将在很大程度上是一个象征性的姿态，标志着更广泛的教师不满，并对大学领导层施加压力采取行动。
Cornell University announced on Tuesday that it was hiring Sally Yates, a former deputy attorney general, to lead an independent review of the university's practices and procedures on sexual assault and related conduct.
康奈尔大学周二宣布，它正在聘请前副总检察长莎莉*耶茨（Sally Yates）领导对该大学关于性侵犯和相关行为的做法和程序的独立审查。
"Yates and her team will conduct a detailed review of the University's response to the allegations involving Jane Doe", the university said in a statement, "including whether Cornell followed its policies and procedures in responding to the matter".
"耶茨和她的团队将对大学对涉及Jane Doe的指控的回应进行详细审查"，该大学在一份声明中表示，"包括康奈尔在回应此事时是否遵循其政策和程序"。
Allegations made in a lawsuit against seven men and the university have rocked the campus in New York state, with hundreds of students and faculty members gathering there on Monday in protest, and sparked anger across the country.
在针对七名男子和大学的诉讼中提出的指控已经震撼了纽约州的校园，数百名学生和教职员工周一聚集在那里抗议，并引发了全国各地的愤怒。
New York Governor Kathy Hochul last week appointed James as a special prosecutor to investigate the case and how law enforcement and the university initially responded to the allegations made by a woman identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe.
纽约州州长Kathy Hochul上周任命詹姆斯为特别检察官，调查此案，以及执法部门和大学最初如何回应一名在诉讼中被认定为Jane Doe的女性提出的指控。
Jane Doe has accused the university of failing to protect her, after she was allegedly drugged and raped by the men for several hours at a fraternity party.
简·多指责大学未能保护她，因为她在兄弟会派对上被这些男子下药并强奸了数小时。
Days before she was appointed special prosecutor, James wrote on X: "What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.
在被任命为特别检察官的几天前，詹姆斯在X上写道："这位年轻女性被迫忍受的痛苦令人震惊且不可接受。
"I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers," she continued. "To her, and to all survivors: you're not alone. We stand with you."
"我把她放在心里，也在祈祷中。"她继续说道。 "致她，也致所有幸存者：你们并不孤单。 我们与你站在一起。"
The lawyer for one of the seven accused said these remarks were disqualifying.
七名被告之一的律师表示，这些言论导致其失格。
In a statement sent to the BBC's US media partner, CBS News, the lawyer said her comments conflict with the need for "independently evaluating the evidence".
律师在发给BBC美国媒体合作伙伴CBS新闻的声明中表示，她的言论与"独立评估证据"的必要性相冲突。
"This is not an accusation that Attorney General James is corrupt, acting in bad faith or incapable of performing her duties professionally," the statement said.
声明称："这并不是指责总检察长詹姆斯腐败、恶意行事或无法专业履行职责。"
"Nor am I suggesting that a court has determined that she is legally disqualified. The point is much narrower: an avoidable question now hangs over this investigation, and voluntary recusal would remove it."
"我也不是说法院已经认定她在法律上被取消资格。 问题要狭隘得多：现在本可避免的问题悬在本次调查之上，自愿回避将消除它。"
Governor Hochul and James were questioned about impartiality concerns during a news conference, and Hochul said James would "follow the facts".
霍楚尔州长和詹姆斯在新闻发布会上被质询公正性问题，霍楚尔表示詹姆斯会"遵循事实"。
"She'll examine the evidence and go wherever it leads, and if the evidence supports charges, she will pursue them," Hochul said.
"她会审查证据，然后去任何地方，如果证据支持指控，她会追究，"霍楚尔说。
