Actions to be taken to address sexual assault policies at Binghamton University
Binghamton University strives to be a campus where all individuals are respected and are given opportunities for personal development and increased autonomy. These goals are put at risk when students are subjected to sexual violence or debasement.
The recent Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS) Sexual Assault Campus Climate (SACC) survey conducted during the spring 2020 semester, as well as a recent letter from the Student Association of Binghamton University regarding the campus’s handling of sexual assault and harassment, make it very clear that the University has a lot more to do in terms of supporting victims and survivors of sexual assault. Moreover, as an institution of higher education, we take seriously our role in educating members of the campus community about their responsibilities with regard to sexual assault, and we support all campus organizations that are working to advance this purpose.
State of the University address
Every fall, I make a State of the University address to campus — one of the fun events I get to do because it lets me talk about our achievements and our outlook for the future. Join me this year at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, at the Anderson Center's Osterhout Concert Theater!
