Uniform Definition of Affirmative Consent
“Enough is Enough” requires colleges in NYS to adopt a uniform definition of affirmative consent, defined as knowing, voluntary, and mutual decision among all participants to engage in sexual activity.
Statewide Amnesty Policy
An amnesty policy ensures that students reporting incidents of sexual assault are granted immunity for certain campus policy violations, such as drug and alcohol abuse.
Expanded Access to Law Enforcement
The new law includes the creation of a new “sexual assault victims unit” within the State Police that will have advanced training in responding to sexual assaults and related crimes.
