Members of No Red Tape Columbia and sexual assault activists from other New York universities met with former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Kathy Hochul on Wednesday to discuss potential state legislation for raising awareness of and preventing campus sexual assaults.

Hochul said the meeting was part of an “information-gathering stage” for the Women’s Equality Party — a party that Gov. Andrew Cuomo created in July, which Hochul and Quinn have been visibly involved in.
