Title IX: Combating Sexual Assault and Other Unwelcome Sexual Behavior

CUNY Title IX Coordinator

Title IX and Sex Discrimination | U.S. Department of Education

If You Recently Were Sexually Assaulted

If the incident occurred on-campus, call Public Safety or 911;
If the incident occurred off-campus, call 911 or go to the local NYPD precinct. Contacting the police does not require you to file charges.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Campus Public Safety or the police can help you get medical care or you can go on your own (or with a friend) to an emergency room. Homepage - New York City Alliance
Preserve evidence. You do not need to decide immediately whether to take action against the person who assaulted you. But if you might want to do this, it is important to preserve evidence of the assault. Go to an emergency room and ask for a SAFE or rape exam. (Do not bathe or brush your teeth prior to going.) For a list of hospitals in New York City with this service, go to: Homepage - New York City Alliance. Retain the clothing you were wearing in a paper (not plastic) bag. If the assault took place in your home or dorm room, do not rearrange furniture and/or clean up.
