ALBANY – Five county executives from the region have joined the “Enough is Enough” campaign to combat sexual violence on college campuses and universities.
They are among 17 statewide supporting the governor’s proposal to create the strongest protections for college students in the country, codifying uniform sexual assault prevention and response protocols for private colleges, protocols adopted by the SUNY system.
County executives Edwin Day of Rockland, Michael Hein of Ulster, Marcus Molinaro of Dutchess, Steven Neuhaus of Orange, and MaryEllen Odell of Putnam have all joined the campaign.
The legislation would extend the SUNY policy and protections to colleges statewide and ensure that the state’s 1.2 million college students are protected with comprehensive and uniform procedures and guidelines, including affirmative consent and access to law enforcement.
