CUNY Violated Title IX
The US Education Department's investigation found that the City University of New York failed to respond promptly to a student's complaint of sexual harassment.
The Office for Civil Rights has announced an agreement with CUNY after finding that Hunter College violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by failing to promptly and equitably respond to complaints of sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Hunter College is the largest college within the CUNY system.
