Grand River’s subject matter experts joined others from around the country to compose guidance for campuses. This Joint Guidance, coordinated by SUNY, provides analysis of each provision (including overlap, harmony, or conflict with the Clery Act, the Violence Against Women Act, and various state laws), and offers initial guidance regarding implementation and challenges that may arise.

Our team is available to answer your questions. We can help you navigate these changes and work with you to tailor a process unique to your campus. Contact us to start a conversation with one of our experts.
