Council Member Christopher Marte inquires about CUNY's relationship with the New York City Human Rights Commission, specifically regarding data sharing practices for discrimination allegations. Derek Davis, CUNY's General Counsel, explains that while individuals can file complaints with either state or city Human Rights Commissions, CUNY does not have a specific data-sharing arrangement with these entities.
- CUNY cooperates with investigations but doesn't proactively share data with the commissions.
- Individuals are free to file complaints directly with the Human Rights Commissions.
- There is no automatic sharing of discrimination allegations between CUNY and the commissions.

Whatever evidence they have, they produce and there's a discussion and obviously we try to bring it to a resolution.

So if someone, makes an allegation on discrimination, on your campus, If someone makes an allegation on discrimination on the campus, you don't share that potential allegation with any commission, either city or state.
1:00:38
Or let's just say if, the discrimination did happen at the end of the investigation process, you still don't share that with the Human Rights Commission on the city or state level?
