Enough is Enough

College students deserve a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment free from discrimination and violence. In July 2015, New York established Enough is Enough to address sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking on college campuses.

Enough is Enough was one of the first laws in the country to require:

• All New York State colleges and universities to adopt a set of comprehensive procedures and guidelines.
• A uniform definition of affirmative consent.
• A statewide amnesty policy for bystanders or victims who report sexual assault.
• A students' bill of rights.
• All campuses undertake campus climate surveys as well as prevention and awareness training.

The law also created the Enough is Enough funding program for rape crisis programs to support colleges and universities' response and prevention needs. Today, NYSOPDV oversees the Enough is Enough funding program, funding 52 rape crisis programs across the state to help provide services to student survivors of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking, as well as support colleges' implementation of the Enough is Enough law. Funded programs work to prevent campus sexual violence via education programming that considers the root causes of gender-based violence, promotes bystander intervention, and promotes healthy relationships. They provide student victims with trauma-informed advocacy, counseling, case management and safety planning services.
