Bill could increase campus sexual assault regulations
Michigan senator
co-sponsors federal
effort to levy stricter
penalties on colleges
By SAMANTHA WINTNER
Daily Staff Reporter
Last month, Sen. Gary Peters
(D–Mich.), as part of a biparti-
san group of 10 other senators,
introduced a new piece of leg-
islation that aims to strengthen
efforts to prevent sexual assault
on college campuses.
Sen.
Peters
joined
Sena-
tors Claire McCaskill (D–Mo.),
Dean Heller (R–Nev.), Richard
Blumenthal (D–Conn.), Chuck
Grassley (R–Iowa), Kirsten Gil-
librand (D–N.Y.), Kelly Ayotte
(R–N.H.), Mark Warner (D–Va.),
Marco Rubio (R–Fla.) and Shel-
ley Moore Capito (R–W.V.) in co-
sponsoring the Campus Safety
and Accountability Act, which
was introduced in the Senate on
Feb. 26.
The current bill is a strength-
ened version of a Campus Safety
and Accountability Act bill ini-
tially proposed last summer.
In a press release, Peters
said the act aims to create real
accountability for sexual assault
crimes, and demand transpar-
ency from colleges and universi-
ties regarding the incidents that
occur.
“As the father of two teen-
age daughters, I’m proud to join
with my colleagues on a bipar-
tisan basis to tackle the serious
problem of sexual assault on
college campuses,” Peters said.
“This bill is a major step towards
creating an environment where
all students can feel safe and
secure while receiving a higher
education by bringing more
accountability and transparen-
cy to reporting sexual assault on
campuses.”
Holly
Rider-Milkovich,
director of the University’s
Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center, said because
the proposed legislation is in
its early stages in the Senate,
it’s still too early to determine
whether University policies will
comply with those outlined in
the act or what impact it will
have on campus.
However, she did point out
that the bill is largely silent on
the subject of prevention efforts,
especially about the training of
college stu-
dents,
an
area SAPAC
has focused
on.
“The
bill
has more of
a focus on
compliance
matters and
relation-
ships to law
enforce-
ment,
and
other kinds
of reporting
responsibili-
ties,” Rider-
Milkovich
said. “As it
relates to the
training of students, that is a
place where the bill is less likely
to impact SAPAC’s work.”
She noted that previously
passed legislation, specifically
the 2013 amendments to the
Clery Act, provides guidance for
universities in terms of staff and
student training.
In contrast, the new bill is
mainly focused on professional-
izing the response to and report-
ing of sexual assaults that occur
on campuses, as well as protect-
ing the rights of the accused,
modifying financial penalties
and removing barriers for stu-
dents reporting assault.
In an e-mail interview, LSA
senior
Hannah
Crisler,
the
campaign director for I Will,
a student-led initiative to spur
campus-wide
conversation
about sexual assault, highlight-
ed the bill’s efforts to provide
resources and heighten aware-
ness for accused students.
“If the accused are continu-
ally attacked and blamed and
left without education, without
advising, and without an under-
standing of how their act was
deemed wrong then they will
never learn,” she wrote.
Under the act, universities
would be required to standard-
ize their approach to student
disciplinary
hearings
across
campus. Athletic departments
and other subgroups would be
prohibited from handling com-
plaints
inde-
pendently.
Furthermore,
the act man-
dates
that
schools notify
both the vic-
tim
and
the
accused with-
in 24 hours of
any
decision
regarding the
advancement
of a disciplin-
ary
measure.
Such commu-
nication must
inform
both
parties of the
rights and due
process
pro-
tections they are entitled to.
In response to those parts of
the legislation, Rider-Milkovich
said she thought the University
already uses fair policies in dis-
ciplinary hearings.
She also noted that the
University’s
Student
Sexual
Misconduct Policy applies uni-
formly to all students, irrespec-
tive of their status, affiliation or
the school or college they belong
to.
The
legislation
will
also
introduce enforceable Title IX
penalties and stiffer penalties
for Clery Act violations.
Institutions
that
do
not
comply with certain require-
ments of the Campus Safety and
Accountability Act, Title IX and
the Clery Act would be subject
to penalties as high as 1 percent
of their operating budget.
“Previously, the only allow-
able penalty was the loss of all
federal student aid which is not
practical and has never been
done,” Peters said in a release.
The funds gathered by the
U.S. Department of Education
from these higher penalties
would go to a new grant pro-
gram that would fund schools’
research for better methods of
sexual assault prevention and
crime response on their cam-
puses.
Rider-Milkovich
applauded
the inclusion of the fund, and
said universities, researchers
and legislators have not invest-
ed enough attention in address-
ing gaps in knowledge on these
issues.
“Seeking to reinvest any fines
into research on best practices
was very encouraging, and I am
grateful that Senator McCaskill
heard so many of us from the
field who were asking for that,”
she said.
However, in regards to anoth-
er section of the bill focused on
professionalizing
responses,
which would require minimum
training standards for on-cam-
pus personnel and the appoint-
ment of “confidential advisors”
to provide guidance for survi-
vors, Rider-Milkovich said she
had some concerns.
Currently, she said, the act
specifies that confidential advis-
ers cannot be undergraduate or
graduate students, which could
run contrary to a SAPAC gradu-
ate student internship program
that trains students to engage
with sexual assault prevention.
“I have concerns that this
legislation
might
undermine
or eliminate this professional
training program at SAPAC and
at other campuses across the
country,” she said. “So even as
the legislation requires there to
be professional staff advocates,
we need to have the ability to
train those advocates to do the
kind of work that’s required on
campuses.”
The act also intends to sur-
vey students at every college
and university in the country to
assess sexual violence on college
campuses. The results of these
studies, which will be conduct-
ed biannually, will be released to
inform prospective students.
Late last year, the University
announced it would conduct its
own survey on campus climate
surrounding sexual assault.
Also, under the bill, schools
will no longer be allowed to
penalize students who violated
other parts of student conduct
code in nonviolent manner dur-
ing an incident. For example,
students who, in reporting sex-
ual violence, admit to underage
drinking cannot be prosecuted
for that action.
Crisler said she thought that
would be one of the more benefi-
cial parts of the bill.
“This addition to sexual vio-
lence policy is beneficial because
students may feel more comfort-
able reporting an incident that
included
underage
drinking,
where as before they could have
been scared of being reprimand-
ed,” she said. “Without that pen-
alty it also reinforces that sexual
assault happens with or with-
out alcohol, and that survivors
should not be punished.”
The act would also require
institutions
to
enter
into
“memoranda
of
understand-
ing” between local and cam-
pus enforcement agencies that
report to campus, meaning that
the two will collaborate, sharing
jurisdiction. This eliminates any
time wasted debating jurisdic-
tion between the enforcement
agencies.
Rider-Milkovich said agree-
ments with the Ann Arbor
Police Department, the Washt-
enaw County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment and Pittsfield Township
already exist.
Overall, both Rider-Milkov-
ich and Crisler said they think
this legislation has a lot of
potential.
“I was very pleased to see
that the bill was created by
a bipartisan group — it is so
important that both Repub-
licans and Democrats could
gather and create something
as a team,” Crisler said. “The
Campus Sexual Assault and
Accountability Act has a lot
of hope, and is going to be a
large step in the right direction
towards providing safety, edu-
cation, resources and hopefully
prevention of sexual assault on
college campuses.”
