## *Title VI Readiness Checklist for Colleges & Universities*

 

On August 26, 2025, New York signed into law **A5448B/S4559B**, the first legislation in the nation requiring every college and university to appoint a **Title VI Anti-Discrimination Coordinator**.

This new mandate strengthens protections against discrimination based on race, color, and national origin.

Starting **November 2026**, every institution in New York must have a dedicated coordinator, annual training for all students and staff, and clear reporting procedures in place.

This ready-to-use checklist outlines key milestones for your institution.

This checklist is perfect for:

✔️ Compliance officers  
✔️ Title IX & Student Affairs leaders  
✔️ Legal and HR teams  
✔️ Presidents and VPs of Equity & Inclusion
