SUNY Sexual Violence Prevention Campus Climate Survey

FLCC is committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all students, faculty, and staff. As part of this commitment and in compliance with New York State Education Law Article 129-B and SUNY policies, FLCC participates in the biennial SUNY Uniform Campus Climate Survey on Sexual and Interpersonal Violence.

This survey gathers anonymous data on experiences with sexual violence, awareness of policies and resources, and perceptions of campus support. The 2025 survey was administered to all enrolled students and employees. Results help us enhance prevention education, response protocols, and support services. Below are key findings from the 2025 survey. Learn more about the SUNY-wide survey.
