Rozic and Stavisky pass bill to combat antisemitism on college campuses

Two Queens lawmakers have passed landmark legislation aimed at protecting college students from discrimination and harassment on campus, particularly in response to rising incidents of antisemitism.

Assembly Member Nily Rozic and State Senator Toby Ann Stavisky announced the unanimous, bipartisan passage of their bill (A5448B/S4559B) on Monday, June 9. The legislation requires all colleges and universities in New York to designate a Title VI Coordinator to oversee civil rights compliance and address complaints related to race, color, and national origin.
