Combating Sexual Assault and Other Unwelcome Sexual Behavior
Anyone of any gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, citizenship status, race, class or educational level can suffer from sexual harassment, including sexual violence. Our goal is to help you understand what sexual harassment means and let you know that there are people at CUNY and in the community who can help if you or others experience it. We want to make sure you understand your rights as a student, CUNY's policies, and other issues related to sexual harassment and assault.

April 2024 Title IX Regulations
In April 2024, the United States Department of Education (“USDOE”) published regulations amending Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The City University of New York Policy on Sex-Based Misconduct (the “Policy”), which is effective as of August 1, 2024, incorporates the provisions contained in those regulations. Conduct occurring prior to August 1, 2024, will be addressed using: (1) the definitions in eƯect at the time of the reported conduct; and (2) the procedures in eƯect at the time the matter is being addressed by CUNY.
Should any portion of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 be stayed, held invalid by a court of law, withdrawn, deemed unenforceable, or in any other way modified so as to not require the application of the grievance process, definitions, or any other provisions contained herein, the relevant portion of the Policy, and the aƯected elements of it, will be deemed revoked as of the publication date of the opinion, order, decision, guidance, or other binding communication. To the extent permissible, if a matter is not resolved as of the date of the opinion, order, decision, guidance, or other binding communication, the grievance process will be investigated and adjudicated under the Policy. If it is impermissible to apply a specific provision contained in the Policy, CUNY will apply the relevant provision set forth in The City University of New York Policy on Sexual Misconduct that was in effect from August 14, 2020, to July 31, 2024.
