UPDATED: Last fall, SGA passed a letter of support calling for New York state lawmakers to advance legislation that would require colleges and universities to adopt specified student su***de prevention & intervention policies. Amid delays in the Legislature, SGA leadership is reiterating its calls for a substitute bill to pass, and SGA’s participation in this multi-college initiative was recently covered by NYU’s Washington Square News. Read SGA’s letter of support and WSN’s coverage of the initiative at the link in bio.
