Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response Training
As part of New York State's Enough is Enough statute, all New York State colleges must provide ongoing education and training about sexual misconduct to their employees and students. To be in full compliance with this law, CUNY implemented the Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response Course (SPARC). This training also includes domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, and sexual violence. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
