H.R. 10665
SOS Campus Act
Summary:
• The "SOS Campus Act" amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require institutions of higher education receiving federal financial assistance to designate an independent Advocate for campus sexual assault prevention and response.
• The Advocate must represent the interests of student survivors even when in conflict with the institution's interests, and cannot be retaliated against for doing so.
• The Advocate is responsible for ensuring survivors receive 24/7 services including medical care, counseling, legal information, and guidance through reporting and adjudication processes, while maintaining survivor confidentiality.
