Bill Summary

Resolve creating a task force on sexual misconduct climate surveys for colleges and universities in Massachusetts

AI Summary

This bill creates a task force to develop a model sexual misconduct climate survey to be administered to students at public and private colleges and universities in Massachusetts. The task force will consist of representatives from various state agencies, advocacy groups, students, and higher education institutions. The model survey will collect information on the prevalence of sexual misconduct on campuses, student awareness of policies and procedures, victims' reporting and access to support services, and perceptions of campus safety. Colleges and universities must either use the model survey or obtain approval from the Commissioner of Higher Education to use their own campus-specific survey, and must post a summary of the results on their website within 120 days of completing the survey.
