The Campus SaVE Act: Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act
The Campus SaVE Act signifies a defining moment in our nation's handling of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking on college campuses. With the work of the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, this issue has gained national attention signaling positive change and action to improve the lives of many thousands of students.
Effective with the Fall 2014 semester, the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act addresses many of the secondary issues surrounding sexual assault. It defines what terms such as ‘sexual assault’ and ‘stalking’ mean within the bill, as well as outlines the rights that victims have when reporting crimes and seeking legal help. Educational programs focused on prevention and raising awareness on college campuses are also provided for within the bill.
The bill requires every college and university nationwide to provide such training for all students, faculty and staff. Any questions regarding the requirements associated with the provisions of this Act may be addressed by contacting the Dean of Student Services and or the Human Resources Department.
