Rights group proposes bill to properly handle campus sexual assault

Published June 28, 2016 6:28pm ET



In anticipation for reauthorizing the Higher Education Act of 1965, a group dedicated to student rights has offered up model legislation that would make campus sexual assault investigations fairer.

The group, called Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, released the model bill on June 22 and is working to lobby Congress for its adoption. The bill “supports the rights and interests of both the complainant and accused student, and encourages the involvement of local criminal justice authorities,” SAVE wrote. The bill could also be adapted for the state level as well.
