The City University of New York announced the launch of a centralized online portal for staff and students to report instances of discrimination and retaliation, covering cases of hate speech and violence, as the system responds to a national rise in antisemitism.
“Our University refuses to tolerate discrimination, antisemitism or hate of any kind, and we want every member of the CUNY community to feel welcomed and safe on our campuses,” said Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez. “We must lead by example. This new reporting portal is one action among many we are taking as a community to combat antisemitism and all forms of hatred at CUNY.”
The online portal – which was started in late fall as part of a sweeping effort to address hate in all forms – will standardize reporting across the system and the information will be shared with college presidents and deans. These campus leaders are required to file semi-annual reports on the cases shared through the portal. The reports will also serve as a basis for the development of policy and training as needed. The tool will allow the University to conduct detailed analyses of the reported incidents, identifying trends and patterns so that the system can enhance its diversity, equity and inclusion programming.
