CUNY to Centralize Discrimination and Harassment Policies and Processes Across the University’s 25 Colleges
The City University of New York today announced the centralization of its discrimination and harassment policies and processes across its 25 colleges with the University’s Center for Inclusivity and Equal Opportunity. The launch follows a vote of the CUNY Board of Trustees to create the Center as part of the University’s ongoing efforts to combat hate, including antisemitism, as well as strengthen its work to foster understanding between diverse communities. To lead this effort, CUNY has appointed Kareem Peat, an attorney with two decades of expertise on discrimination law and higher education, as the Center’s interim executive director, effective immediately.
