AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 151B of the General Laws to define the term "student" as including any person enrolled in classes at a public or private higher education institution, and defines "higher education institution" as any public or private degree-granting college or university accredited by a Regional Board or Association of Institutions of higher education. The bill requires all higher education institutions to adopt a policy against sexual harassment, which must include certain elements such as a statement that sexual harassment is unlawful, a description of the complaint process, and information on relevant state and federal agencies. The bill also makes it unlawful for a higher education institution to sexually harass any student or prospective student.
