Derek Davis clarifies CUNY's legal obligations to report data on discrimination and hate crimes. He explains that CUNY does share certain information as required by state and federal laws.
- CUNY reports data annually under the Clery Act, which includes hate crimes and acts that violate federal or state law.
- Recent legislation passed by Toby Stavitsky requires additional reporting on hate crimes.
- As a public institution, CUNY is obligated to report this data publicly.
- This reporting requirement applies to all colleges nationwide for discrimination complaints and hate crimes.

And and I would be remiss, commissioner, counselor Marte, if we we if we didn't acknowledge that we do that.
1:02:58
I mean, there is data shared annually, on the Clery Act, under the Clery Act.

So if there's a hate crime, if there's an act that violates federal or state law at the City University of New York on a campus, in fact Toby Stavitsky passed a legislation just last year on, hate crime that requires us to report and it's a, it's a more, a different, analysis of hate crime.
1:03:21
We are obligated as a public institution to report that.
1:03:25
So let me not mislead you to think that that data is not shared publicly.
1:03:29
It is shared in a way that is required not only by state, but by the federal law.
1:03:34
And every college in the nation shares that data as it relates to discrimination, complaints, and hate crimes.
