If you are looking for a City College of New York Title IX lawyer, or you have just been contacted by the college’s Title IX office and want to know who is who, this page is for you. It is written for City College of New York (CCNY) students who have been accused of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking or other sexual misconduct, and for their parents. It covers the college’s own offices, pages and documents. The CUNY-wide process is explained on our CUNY Title IX lawyer page.
The City College of New York Title IX Office
Title IX at City College runs through the Office of Compliance and Diversity. The college’s Title IX pages sit in that office’s section of the website. The Spring 2026 sexual violence response options sheet and an older health services page call it the Office of Diversity and Compliance.
People, by title
- The Chief Compliance & Diversity Officer is the Title IX Coordinator. The Contact Information page gives the full title as “Chief Compliance & Diversity Officer / TITLE IX Coordinator / ADA 504 Director”. The Title IX Sexual Misconduct page shortens it to Compliance & Diversity Officer. CUNY’s campus contacts table lists the Title IX Coordinator with the title Chief Diversity Officer.
- An Associate Director.
- An Investigator. The Contact Information page and the CUNY campus contacts table both list this role.
- An Executive Administrative Assistant.
Where the office is
The Contact Information page and the CUNY campus contacts table give Shepard Hall, Room 109 A-D. The main Office of Compliance and Diversity page also directs complaints and questions to Shepard Hall, Room 109 A-D. However, the contact block at the bottom of that same page gives the H. Wille Administration Building, Room 205. If you are going in person, confirm the location first.
What the office handles
The office handles Title IX and sexual misconduct matters, as well as equal opportunity and non-discrimination matters. The Title IX Coordinator is also the ADA 504 Director. The Title IX Sexual Misconduct page lists the college’s commitments under the CUNY Policy on Sexual Misconduct. These include responding to and investigating allegations, pursuing discipline when appropriate, referring incidents to local law enforcement when appropriate, and addressing allegations of retaliation.
How a Matter Starts at City College of New York
The college’s pages describe these routes:
- The Title IX Coordinator. The response options sheet lists the Chief Compliance & Diversity Officer and Title IX Coordinator first among the on-campus report options. The Title IX Sexual Misconduct page links the “Title IX Sexual Misconduct Complaint Form”. The On Campus Support page (last updated 01/13/2026) also has a heading for a Title IX/Sexual Misconduct Reporting Portal, without further description.
- Public Safety. The sheet lists Public Safety, available 24/7, among the on-campus report options. It also says that in an emergency on campus you call Public Safety, and off campus you call 911.
- The Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs. The sheet lists this office as a third on-campus report option.
- Off-campus reports. The sheet and the health services page list the New York Police Department, the NYPD Special Victims Division hotline and the New York State Campus Sexual Assault Victim’s Unit Hotline.
The sheet is written for people who have experienced sexual violence. It carries a “NOT CONFIDENTIAL” label for the reporting options. Under the CUNY policy, the college Title IX Coordinator evaluates the allegations, decides the track and investigates, so a student contacted by the Title IX office is dealing with the Office of Compliance and Diversity.
City College of New York Student Affairs and Conduct Offices
CUNY’s campus contacts table lists the Chief Student Affairs Officer at City College as the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs. The response options sheet uses the title Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs. An older health services page (last updated 02/01/2022) instead lists an Interim Vice President for Student Affairs in the Wille Administration Building, Room A/204. Treat that older page with caution.
The Community Standards page sits within Student Affairs. It lists a Director of Student Conduct & Community Standards in the Administration Building, Room 204. Its stated services include developing, interpreting and enforcing campus rules, and intervening when behavior violates the Code of Conduct. It links the Henderson Rules and Article XV of the CUNY Bylaws. The page does not mention sexual misconduct reports.
Under CUNY Bylaws Article XV, Section 15.4, sexual misconduct allegations follow the policy’s procedures rather than Section 15.4; Article XV still governs other student conduct matters. At City College, these CUNY roles connect to the college’s offices as follows:
- The Office of Student Affairs sends hearing notices on the Title IX track.
- The Chief Student Affairs Officer issues No Contact Orders for students.
- When either party is a student, the Chief Student Affairs Officer receives written requests to review supportive measures.
- On the non-Title IX track, if the College President decides discipline is warranted, the Chief Student Affairs Officer may prefer charges.
City College of New York Policy Pages and Documents
The Title IX Sexual Misconduct page (last updated 01/06/2026) and the Title IX / Sexual Misconduct confidential services page (last updated 04/20/2026) carry the same notice. It says that after a federal court ruling on January 9, 2025, City College reverted to CUNY’s Sexual Misconduct Policy of 2020. It also says CUNY’s Sex-Based Misconduct Policy, which came into effect on August 1, 2024, is no longer in effect.
The main Office of Compliance and Diversity page does not match that notice. Its Title IX links list still includes “CUNY Policy on Sex-Based Misconduct” (the 2024 policy) alongside the Policy on Sexual Misconduct. CUNY applies its 2020 Policy on Sexual Misconduct to open and future Title IX matters. Conduct alleged to have occurred before August 14, 2020 is handled under the version in effect at that time. On the Title IX track, your written notice must include CUNY’s Policy on Sexual Misconduct.
The main page’s list also includes these documents:
- Filing a Title IX Complaint
- Title IX Flow Chart
- Responsible Employee Obligations
- Sexual Violence Response Resources Flowchart
- Student Bill of Rights
- A Sexual Violence Survivor Resource Guide, which is for survivors
Support at City College of New York
- Counseling Center. It provides short-term counseling and describes its services as accessible to all City College students. Its home page says services moved to online and phone delivery for actively enrolled students, and lists screening, crisis intervention, individual and group counseling, referral and workshops. The response options sheet places it in Health and Wellness Services, Marshak Science Building, J-15. The older health page gives North Academic Center, Room 8/213, and the CUNY table gives 160 Convent Avenue. The sheet states that the confidential providers keep information private without written consent. The stated limits are danger to self or others, suspected child or elder abuse, and a court-ordered subpoena.
- Student Health Services. It is part of Health and Wellness Services and is listed in the Marshak Science Building. The sheet gives J-15 and the older page gives Room 418.
- Gender Resources. It is a survivor-directed resource. The On Campus Support page describes it as supporting survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking and dating violence, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. It is not described as a resource for respondents.
- Psychological Counselor: Confidential Advocate. The older health page lists this role in the Office of Diversity and Compliance, Shepard Hall, Room 109E. It appears on a page written for people who experienced sexual misconduct.
- Public Safety. It is located in the North Academic Center, Room 4/201, and is staffed 24 hours a day by Peace Officers and Security Guards. The sheet notes it can escort to the hospital. It is listed as a report option, not a confidential one.
For a respondent, the Counseling Center is described as accessible to all City College students. The pages do not say whether the survivor-directed resources are open to respondents.
Practical Steps for a City College of New York Respondent
- Ask the Office of Compliance and Diversity in writing which track (Title IX Sexual Harassment or non-Title IX Sexual Misconduct) and which policy version applies. Do this if your notice does not say.
- Send requests for supportive measures to the Title IX Coordinator.
- Send written requests to review supportive measures, including a No Contact Order, to the Chief Student Affairs Officer.
- Keep every notice, email and form you receive, with the date each was delivered. The policy counts a day as a calendar day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal or state holiday.
- Confirm the room before you visit, since the pages disagree on where some offices sit.
The CUNY Process in Brief
CUNY applies one Policy on Sexual Misconduct at every college, and the 2020 version covers conduct alleged to have occurred on or after August 14, 2020. The college Title IX Coordinator evaluates the allegations, decides whether the matter is Title IX Sexual Harassment or non-Title IX Sexual Misconduct, and investigates. A Title IX Sexual Harassment complaint that is not dismissed or resolved ends in a live hearing before a three-member Adjudication Committee, after written notice from the Title IX Coordinator, and the Office of Student Affairs sends the Notice of Hearing. Each party may have an advisor of choice, who may be an attorney, and only advisors cross-examine at that hearing. On the non-Title IX track, the College President decides whether discipline is warranted and, for a student, may refer the matter to the Chief Student Affairs Officer, who may prefer charges heard by an Adjudication Committee. Read the full process on our CUNY Title IX lawyer page.
