Stony Brook University is not the only higher education institution in New York currently under review for Title IX violations by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. As of March 4, 2015, there are 12 others, making New York the state with the highest number of open investigations.
The institutions in the diagrams below are organized in chronological order of when OCR opened each investigation, the information for which was obtained using the Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis Cutting Tool on the DoE website.
The bubble chart above shows the relationship between each institution’s enrollment total and how many reported cases of sexual assault occurred for the three-year period of 2011 through 2013.

For each institution of higher education in New York under investigation by the OCR for Title IX violations, the chart below breaks down the total number of cases of forcible sexual assaults reported in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
(Pace University’s New York City campus is under investigation by OCR for Title IX violations but is not represented here due to a lack of reported cases. According to the Huffington Post, the review was opened on July 22, 2014 due to a complaint filed by the victim of an alleged sexual assault. The DoE’s website shows the university’s NYC campus has no reported instances of forcible sexual assaults.)
