6.16 The City University of New York Policy on Sex-Based Misconduct

CUNY is committed to preventing and addressing sexual harassment and sexual violence throughout the CUNY community. People at every level of CUNY and at every CUNY campus are working together to find effective ways to help students who have experienced sexual harassment, including sexual violence, and to foster a culture that does not tolerate unwelcome sexual behavior.

On each CUNY campus there is a Title IX Coordinator, who has special training in helping students who are facing issues related to sexual harassment and assault. Michael Valente is the School of Law’s Title IX Coordinator, overseeing compliance with the federal law which prohibits sex discrimination and sexual harassment. His office is located in room 4-321, his telephone number is (718) 340-4285, and his email is michael.valente@law.cuny.edu. 

Mr. Valente works closely with the Law School’s Student Affairs Office and Public Safety Office to ensure compliance with and provide guidance on the CUNY Policy on Sexual Misconduct and its provisions regarding the reporting of sexual misconduct incidents, confidentiality, medical care and emotional support, and supportive services, if needed.
