Council Member Eric Dinowitz inquires about CUNY's existing resources and support systems for victims of hate crimes or discrimination. Chancellor Felix Matos Rodriguez outlines the current support structures in place across CUNY campuses.
- Support for victims can come from chief diversity officers, offices of student affairs, or HR departments, depending on whether the victim is a student, faculty, or staff member.
- Mental health support for students is typically housed in student affairs offices.
- CUNY acknowledges that implementing a dedicated victim's advocate program, as recommended in the Lippman report, would likely require additional resources.
