Bill > A05102

This bill requires both the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) to implement policies mandating that all information displayed on their websites and marketing materials undergo a vetting process to ensure accuracy and impartiality. Specifically, the bill amends the state education law by adding new subdivisions to Section 355 (for SUNY) and Section 6206 (for CUNY) that obligate their respective boards of trustees to establish and enforce these vetting policies. The goal appears to be promoting transparency and preventing the spread of potentially misleading or biased information by these public educational institutions. The new requirements would apply to all websites and marketing materials used by SUNY and CUNY institutions, encompassing a broad range of communications such as online content, brochures, advertisements, and other promotional resources. The bill is set to take effect on the first day of July following its enactment, giving these university systems time to develop and implement the required vetting procedures.
