Expressing support for the designation of September 2026 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
This resolution expresses support for designating September 2026 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month to highlight risks faced by college students during the start of the academic year. It cites statistics showing that a significant portion of campus sexual assaults occur in the fall, with many victims being incapacitated and knowing their attackers. The text outlines various institutional gaps, including low reporting rates, lack of confidential reporting options, and insufficient training for faculty and law enforcement. By focusing on these issues during a period when many students return to campus, the House aims to raise awareness about prevention and response measures.
