Dignity for all Students
Dignity for All Students Act - DASA
DASA, enacted by New York State, went into effect July 1, 2012 and
protects students in NYS public schools from harassment,
discrimination and bullying by other students or school
employees.
It provides that no student shall be subjected to discrimination
based on his or her actual or perceived race, color, national
origin, ethnic group, religion, religious practice, disability,
weight, sexual orientation, sexual identity, or sex. DASA
explicitly states that the harassment is the creation of a hostile
environment through bullying, taunting and intimidation.
