NY governor unveils campaign to combat sexual assault on college campuses
Story here. Excerpt:
'The "Enough is Enough" tour is coming to a college campus near you.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched the campaign Wednesday to build support for his proposal that would establish a uniform policy for addressing sexual assaults on college campuses.
The policy is now in place for all schools in the State University of New York system. But Cuomo wants to make it a state law that applies to all colleges and universities, including private institutions.
"We're protecting women on SUNY campuses," Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany. "We should protect women on every campus in the state of New York."
The plan backed by Cuomo would implement a statewide definition of affirmative consent — "yes means yes" — and establish an amnesty policy to ensure that students who report sexual assaults are granted immunity for some campus policy violations, namely alcohol and drug use.'
