Requires institutions of higher education to have an independent advocate for campus sexual assault prevention and response.
The Survivor Outreach and Support Campus Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to mandate that institutions of higher education receiving federal financial assistance designate an independent advocate for campus sexual assault prevention and response. The advocate must be appointed based on experience and ability to provide sexual assault survivor services. The advocate's responsibilities include ensuring survivors receive crisis intervention counseling, information on rights and referrals, and legal services.
