Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism agreed to review the editorial process behind Rolling Stone's now discredited report about gang rape on the campus of the University of Virginia.
An editor's note from Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner says J-School dean Steve Coll and academic affairs chief Sheila Coronel will handle the probe.
The full and non-edited report will be posted on Rolling Stone's website, while excerpts will run in the magazine.
The 9,000-word article appeared last month and told how seven males raped a student called Jackie at a fraternity party.
That bombshell led to the suspension of the frat's activities on campus and a national review about the need to deal with sexual attacks at colleges.
Author Sabrina Erdely relied on Jackie as the sole source for the article.
A media firestorm erupted and details of the Rolling Stone piece were debunked. Rolling Stone has since cast doubt on the veracity of Erdely's article.
A deadline has not been set for the J-School's report.
