A 10650 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Implements a students' bill of rights for state university of New York and city university of New York institutions

This bill establishes a Students' Bill of Rights for CUNY institutions to protect student communication, governance, and free expression. It requires schools to create clear policies on student messaging, conduct hearings, and student representation in decision-making bodies. The law also guarantees student journalists editorial control over school media, protects them from retaliation, and ensures student activity fees are allocated by elected student representatives. These changes aim to formalize student rights in areas like free speech, self-governance, and media operations within the university system.
