The Village Voice ran a story on CUNY’s new sexual assault policy on Tuesday, and while it highlights the fantastic student-led work and the thrill of success, it also brings up some concerns with what didn’t make it into the final draft, including the option of anonymous reporting for rape victims and lack of detail on the prevention education now mandated by the new policy. I think it’s an interesting illustration of how policy reform can be a long, evolving process, and that victories rarely exclude the possibility of future reforms. But it can be so much easier to tweak and add to a strong foundation than it is to start from scratch, and that’s certainly the position that CUNY is in now. That they have gotten to this point is really awesome.
