SOS Campus Act

This bill would require each college or university that receives federal student aid to name an independent advocate for campus sexual assault prevention and response. College employees who receive a sexual assault report would have to tell the survivor about the advocate and how to reach them. The advocate would represent the survivor's interests, could not be punished by the school for doing so, and would arrange services such as emergency medical care, forensic exams, counseling, and legal information, either on campus or through a nearby community organization. The advocate would also keep survivor and witness identities confidential unless state law requires otherwise, attend school disciplinary hearings at the survivor's request, and run a campaign to inform students about the advocate's services.
