SUNY Cortland recognizes the need for improved affordability and access to menstrual products for individuals needing these items in the education setting, and has committed to distributing free menstrual products in all single-use bathrooms and women’s bathrooms in academic buildings to support gender and menstrual equity. These supplies are available for anyone experiencing an emergency who might otherwise miss class or work.
Faculty Senate passed a resolution (PDF) in February 2018 to support this initiative. Facilities Operations and Services coordinates this program with endorsement from Health Promotion, Title IX, and Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Committee.
