SUNY Campus Climate Survey is Now Open

Pursuant to New York State Education Law Article 129-B and 2014 and 2018 Board policies, The State University of New York conducts a survey of the campus climate around sexual and interpersonal violence every other year. 

The information we collect helps inform our campus sexual assault prevention and response efforts. The more survey responses we get, the more informed we are about sexual and interpersonal violence on our campuses. 

Survey e-mails come from SUNY System Administration (survey@suny.edu). To demonstrate legitimacy and guard against spam or false e-mails, the Climate Survey e-mail will include the first name of the recipient and be sent to the e-mail address they maintain on file with their campus. Pursuant to policy, the technology of the survey instrument is set up so that it is not possible to match the responses to the survey with the identification of the person who submitted it.

Separate surveys are sent to all students and all employees, respectively. No one under the age of 18 is surveyed.

Upon submission of the student Climate Survey, students will be offered the opportunity to submit their name for a randomized incentive drawing. This information is entered into a separate survey. Clicking Submit on the Climate Survey severs the link irretrievably with the Incentive Survey. This means that when the student enters their name and email address, it cannot be tracked to their responses to the Climate Survey. With the support of the SUNY Provost, the University will randomly select 150 students to receive $100 Amazon Gift Certificates.
