In addition, “Megan’s Law” protects our communities and universities by mandating that convicted sex offenders register with the State through the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Such information can be obtained from your local police precinct, and from the Division of Criminal Justice Services website: http://www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/ (for level 3 offenders.)

While it's a great idea to have a CUNY sexual assault policy I am afraid it is not going to be enough to change the behavior of men. With the growing number of laws and regulations, have women's lives really improved? I think that schools need to pick up where religious instruction became irrelevant and parents became too confused. What we need are, in addition to sex-ed classes, classes on ethics,
ReplyDeleterelationships, respect, manners, preferably at an earlier level, but why not in college. Boys don't know how to be boys anymore, they need a code of honor to control their selfish natures - which we, as a society need, by the way.Men achieve great things in pursuit of glory. But this selfish energy has to be tamed somehow. Someone needs to tell them, what is honorable behavior and what is not. And girls need to be taught not only what their rights are, but also how to protect themselves. What I mean is: while every girl should have a right to go to a boy's room and NOT be raped, why not teach her as well to be careful.
