AI Summary

This bill establishes a task force to develop a model sexual assault climate survey for public and private institutions of higher education in Massachusetts. The task force will include various stakeholders, such as representatives from the state government, higher education institutions, and advocacy organizations. The model survey will be designed to gather information on the prevalence and perception of sexual assault on college campuses, as well as other relevant factors. The bill requires all public and private institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth to administer the model survey annually and submit the responses to the Commissioner of Higher Education. However, institutions that have developed their own campus-specific surveys using best practices may be exempt from using the model survey, as long as they meet certain criteria and submit their survey responses.
