Colleges would be required to create new anti-harassment policies and could get money to prevent student harassment.
This bill would require colleges and universities to put in place clear policies to prevent harassment against students. It would also set aside money for schools to create or improve programs that stop harassment and support those affected. This means students would have better protections and resources on campus.
Today, federal law requires colleges to disclose campus security and crime data, but not a specific, comprehensive policy on harassment based on protected characteristics, nor does it require reporting patterns of such harassment. There's no specific federal grant program for anti-harassment initiatives. After this bill, colleges would be required to develop and distribute detailed policies prohibiting harassment based on specified characteristics and report patterns of harassment. The Secretary of Education would also be authorized to award competitive grants totaling $50,000,000 annually for the government's budget years 2026 through 2031 to eligible entities for anti-harassment programs.
