MSM Title IX Sexual Misconduct Policy

In New York State, all colleges and universities survey their students about their knowledge of campus policy related to sexual violence and their experiences as college students every other year. This year, MSM adapted a survey created by the State University of New York. In Spring 2023, 85 students responded to the 2023 Campus Climate Survey (8.3% of enrolled students).

Many of the questions asked students to share how informed they are about the resources available for victims of sexual misconduct and on sexual misconduct policies and procedures for the entire School community. Some of those responses are listed below*:

87% of respondents were aware the MSM has policies and procedures specifically addressing sexual assault

72% of respondents said they knew how to contact the Title IX Coordinator

73% of respondents said they knew how to report a sexual assault

82% of respondents said they knew the definition of Affirmative Consent

The 2021 MSM Sexual Misconduct Campus Climate survey yielded similar results. That year, 255 students (29% of enrolled students) responded to the survey. They told MSM that

87% of respondents were aware the MSM has policies and procedures specifically addressing sexual assault
