HIGHER ED-MISCONDUCT SURVEY
Summary
Amends the Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act. Requires each higher education institution to biennially (rather than annually) conduct a sexual misconduct climate survey of all students at the institution. Adds the Executive Director of the Illinois Community College Board, members appointed by the Board of Higher Education, and members appointed by the Illinois Community College Board to the Task Force on Campus Sexual Misconduct Climate Surveys. Removes some members of the Task Force who were appointed by the Governor. Requires the Task Force to meet to recommend updates and revisions to the base survey (rather than to review the results of the survey and to implement updates and improvements). Removes the civil fine imposed upon an institution that violates the provisions or fails to carry out the provisions. Makes other changes.

MODERATE
The bill was renamed from the 'Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act' to the 'Dual Credit Quality Act,' completely shifting its focus from campus sexual misconduct surveys to improving high school-college partnerships. The new version removes all requirements for institutions to conduct sexual misconduct climate surveys and the associated Task Force, while adding new mandates for community colleges to partner with school districts to offer dual credit courses.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from applying to all higher education institutions regarding sexual violence prevention to applying to school districts and community colleges regarding dual credit course offerings.
REQUIREMENT
Eliminated the requirement for higher education institutions to biennially conduct sexual misconduct climate surveys and submit results.
Added a mandate for community college districts to enter into partnership agreements with school districts to offer dual credit coursework upon request.
ENFORCEMENT
Deleted the creation of the 'Task Force on Campus Sexual Misconduct Climate Surveys' and its associated membership structure.
DEFINITION
Introduced new definitions for 'Dual credit course' and 'Postsecondary institution' to support the new dual credit focus.
SCOPE
Changed the bill's purpose from reducing sexual violence to reducing college costs, speeding degree completion, and improving curriculum alignment.
