What this bill would do

The Campus Accountability and Safety Act aims to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the Jeanne Clery Act to combat campus sexual assault. It requires institutions to improve the publication of security policies and crime statistics, including more specific data on incidents where the respondent is a student. The bill mandates the creation of sexual and interpersonal violence specialists at institutions to provide victim-centered, trauma-informed support. It also establishes a requirement for a publicly available, searchable campus safety website maintained by the Secretary. Additionally, the act introduces amnesty policies for students reporting such crimes and mandates specific training for campus employees.
