A proposed New York state bill aims to overhaul how colleges handle sexual assault reports following high-profile allegations at Cornell University. The legislation would require stricter transparency in disciplinary proceedings and mandate that schools disclose more details about investigations and outcomes. Critics argue current policies often fail to protect victims, while supporters say the changes would restore public trust in campus accountability systems. The push comes amid growing pressure for systemic reforms in higher education’s response to sexual violence.
