To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on Jan. 19, 2018. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: State University of New York
Ms. Nason,
The State University of New York has no "Directives, internal memos, and/or any other guidelines on scaling back Title IX initiatives at SUNY campuses" because there are no plans to scale back Title IX and related initiatives and there has been no discussion of scaling back the University's initiatives. Quite the opposite, SUNY and its campuses have been investing in new and cutting-edge initiatives to respond to and prevent sexual and interpersonal violence and harassment on campus and in the community.
This includes our expanded SAVR resource (http://response.suny.edu), the nation's most comprehensive anonymous website of every on and off campus resource, searchable by campus, zip code, or map location; our efforts to make policies more accessible by translating key documents into 120 written languages and American Sign Language; our SPARC online training that provides colleges with free tools to train students, faculty, and staff in violence prevention; our SUNY's Got Your Back program that, since 2016, has provided more than 22,000 comfort bags to victims and survivors of violence at hospitals, rape crisis programs and domestic violence shelters across the State of New York; our webinar series providing in-depth training to professionals across the country at no cost; and our live training series which every year trains thousands of campus and community professionals in compliance, response, and prevention.
If you wish to appeal this decision, you may do so by sending a FOIL appeal letter within thirty (30) days to:
