Mississippi Safe Dorms Act requires single-sex living facilities at state institutions of higher learning and prohibits certain persons from residing.

The Mississippi Safe Dorms Act mandates that state institutions of higher learning provide single-sex living facilities for students. It prohibits students registered under sex offender laws from residing in on-campus housing. First-year students under 21 must live in these single-sex facilities. The act also bans employees from entering single-sex dorms and requires institutions to educate students and staff about policies to reduce sexual assault risks. Institutions found in violation of the act are not immune from liability.
