And I think it's sort of as Sarah pointed out, the impetus for this report is was anti Semitism.

The biggest spike in hate crimes across the city, across the country has been against the Jewish community.
3:50:18
This has been an issue plaguing students, but the benefits are really for all students, really strengthening title 6 central guidance.
3:50:27
Support services really are something that's gonna benefit every single student facing discrimination or civil rights violation.
3:50:33
I think it's really important, to highlight.

I'd also just add when we talk about centralization is making the clarifications and the policies as widely known as possible and as publicly known so that there is no ambiguity about what's okay, what's not okay, what crosses the line, and what doesn't cross the line.
