Relates to compliance with federal reporting standards for incidences of sexual assault on SUNY and CUNY campuses
This bill requires all SUNY and CUNY colleges to post campus crime statistics, including sexual assault data, on their websites with clear links to federal reports and hate crime statistics. It mandates appointing a dedicated coordinator (with a bachelor's degree in relevant fields) to manage Title IX compliance and maintain a searchable complaint database accessible online. Colleges must also administer standardized, anonymous mid-semester surveys about on-campus sexual assault (defined as offenses in New York Penal Law §130) to all students. Failure to comply risks suspension of state administrative funds, though student services and faculty salaries remain protected.
