I worked at SUNY Maritime for 3 Years and Saw Terrible Things Happen to Women, Gay Men, and Persons of Color. I Was Repeatedly Told to “Leave it Alone.”

Hello, l have seen some of the posts about SUNY Maritime, And I wanted to share my experience.

I worked at Maritime for years as a Res Life Incident Responder, and during that time I saw some of the worst things I've ever seen happening to women, gay men, and persons of color. 

I've worked at multiple maritime academies in this capacity and have never experienced what I've seen there. 

I was repeatedly told to “leave it alone.” 

“It's just the culture of the campus,” they would say and they would tell me that if I pushed it any further I should consider another school for grad school and for work.

I worked there for three years.

Let me know if I can help in ANY way.
