A group of New York state legislators has proposed new legislation aimed at combating rising antisemitism and discrimination on college campuses. The package includes the ACCESS Act, which mandates institutions to set clear anti-discrimination policies, establish reporting mechanisms, and prevent harassment by individuals not affiliated with the institutions. The Act aims to provide legal avenues for students and authorities to take action against schools that do not ensure a safe learning environment, emphasizing that every student should be able to study free from fear and harassment.
The ACCESS Act strengthens protections for students by holding educational institutions accountable for ensuring a safe and inclusive atmosphere for all.
Every student deserves to learn in an environment free from harassment, discrimination, and fear,
