Public postsecondary education: uniform informational guidance for sexual assault survivors.

The Donahoe Higher Education Act sets forth the missions and functions of California's public higher education segments, including the California State University, comprising 23 campuses, and the University of California, comprising 10 campuses. Various provisions of the act specify the responsibilities of the Trustees of the California State University and the Regents of the University of California to develop, among other things, policies and procedures, information, and education and training programs for students, faculty, and staff regarding sexual assault and rape, sexual violence, and sexual harassment, as provided. Provisions of the act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the Regents of the University of California, by appropriate resolution, make them applicable. This bill would require the Trustees of the California State University, and request the Regents of the University of California, to develop content and presentation standards and a model internet website template regarding the steps a campus community member who is a survivor of sexual assault may take immediately following the assault, as provided. The bill would require each campus of the California State University and request each campus of the University of California to develop and post on its campus internet website informational guidance regarding those steps based on those standards and model, as provided. The bill would require the trustees, and request the regents, to implement the bill's provisions using existing funds and resources.
