Bill > S01752

This bill establishes the "Dismantling Student Antisemitism Act" (DSA Act), which requires chancellors and presidents of higher education institutions in New York to implement comprehensive measures addressing antisemitism on college campuses. The bill mandates that these institutions develop and conduct mandatory sensitivity training specifically focused on antisemitism, consulting with experts in Jewish history and culture to design the training. Institutions must also create and publish a uniform hate and discrimination policy statement related to antisemitism, which must be prominently displayed on their websites. Additionally, the bill requires universities to meticulously document and report all incidents of antisemitic hate and discrimination, including detailed metrics such as the number of reported incidents, cases processed, respondents found responsible, and sanctions imposed. These annual reports must be submitted to the state department by July first each year, with the reports subsequently being shared with state political leaders and made publicly available, while protecting the confidentiality of individuals involved. The goal of the legislation is to create a more transparent and proactive approach to addressing antisemitism in higher education settings, ensuring that institutions take concrete steps to prevent and respond to such incidents.
