At Manhattan College, we strive to create and maintain an area free from sexual misconduct. The College engages in comprehensive educational programming to prevent sexual misconduct, including training to promote the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The College gives primary prevention and awareness programs for all incoming students and employees and continues with ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns throughout the year for all students and employees; the content of these programs complies with the requirements of the Clery Act and Article 129-B. The College also provides mandatory training for leaders and officers of student organizations and student-athletes that complies with Article 129-B.
Additionally, the College provides annual training, and training to new staff as soon as possible after hire, on the protections against gender-based harassment as required by the Stop Sexual Harassment Act in NYC (NYC Local Law 96 (2018)). The College also provides information on sexual misconduct prevention with parents of enrolling students.
The College uses a variety of training mechanisms to ensure the campus community has various interactions with prevention and awareness. This includes an online learning component, in person workshops, and collaborations for events with internal and external partners. This programming material provides the campus community with information about the Title IX policy and procedures, options for reporting, and information on bystander intervention. The College hosts public awareness events, such as “Take Back the Night,” where students do not have to report, but have an opportunity to continue education and prevention measures. The College’s Title IX Coordinator may be contacted for additional information regarding the policies, procedures, and education and prevention efforts.
