Provides for implementation of sexual harassment prevention and response policies and procedures by colleges and universities

This bill requires New York colleges and universities to adopt and implement specific policies for preventing and responding to sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. It mandates that schools define these terms consistently with federal standards, create clear reporting protections (including no disciplinary action for alcohol/drug use at the time of an incident), and establish fair, timely complaint procedures. Key mechanisms include requiring trained investigators, ensuring both parties have equal rights to evidence review and advisors during hearings, and guaranteeing privacy for reporting individuals. The bill applies directly to all public and private institutions of higher education in New York State.
