Public Campus Sexual Violence Report Requirements Advanced

Lincoln – Public colleges and universities would be required to report information to the Legislature on campus sexual assault and dating violence under a bill advanced to select file Jan. 23.

LB 534, introduced by Omaha Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh and replaced by a committee amendment, would require each public postsecondary educational institution to submit a report every two years to the Clerk of the Legislature and the Education Committee regarding sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking.

The report would include the results of any campus climate survey related to sexual violence, dating violence and stalking and related information about the training provided to Title IX coordinators and others. It would not include any personally identifiable information.

The amended LB 534 was advanced 40-0 from general file.
