AI Summary

This bill requires institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to adopt policies on academic transcript notations and appeals relating to crimes of violence, including sexual violence. It mandates that a temporary notation be placed on a student's transcript during any disciplinary proceedings for an alleged crime of violence, and a permanent notation be added upon final resolution of the proceedings, including whether the student was suspended, expelled, or withdrew. The bill also requires institutions to notify students of this policy and provide a procedure for removing notations if the student is found not to have violated the institution's code of conduct.
