Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require institutions of higher education to have an independent advocate for campus sexual assault prevention and response.
Plain-language summary
This bill would require colleges and universities to hire an independent advocate—someone not employed by the school—to help prevent sexual assault and support survivors. The advocate would work outside the college's normal chain of command to ensure impartial assistance. The bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965, which sets rules for federal student aid and college operations. The bill is currently introduced in Congress, meaning it has been formally submitted but not yet assigned to a for debate.
