FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement from Chancellor Betty A. Rosa and 快播视频er MaryEllen Elia on Potential USDE Changes to Protections for Sexual Assault Victims
鈥淥nce again, the Trump Administration is reducing protections for the vulnerable, this time, turning its back on victims of sexual assault. The Board of Regents and State 快播视频Department reject any changes by the U.S. Department of 快播视频on sexual misconduct on college and university campuses. 听This is the latest in a line of misguided and ill-conceived proposals by USDE.
鈥淲e have seen the rights of transgender students ignored, colleges and universities discouraged from pursuing racial diversity, and crucial protections for the most underserved K-12 students eliminated. This attack on the victims of sexual misconduct and assault is the latest degradation of protections by this administration.
鈥淣ew York has one of the strongest laws in the nation protecting students from sexual assault. We will continue to underscore the importance of standing by our students and defending their rights.鈥
