Sexual Assault Policy Public Forum
Thu, Oct 22: Help CUNY create sexual-assault policy for all 480,000 students

On October 22, CUNY students will have the opportunity to have their voices heard and ask questions to the CUNY Sexual Assault Policy Taskforce regarding the history, progress, and implementation of CUNY’s first ever prevention-based sexual assault policy.

This public forum, which is open to all CUNY students, is sponsored by Students for a Greater CUNY (SGC) and cosponsored by Queens College Democratic Student Alliance. The purpose of CUNY’s sexual assault policy is to ensure students have recourse on CUNY campuses for services and needs when faced with sexual assault. The aim of CUNY’s sexual assault policy is to be student-centered and prevention-based while being inclusive of the diverse population of students at CUNY.
