ALERT Act

This bill requires colleges and universities to have their president (or equivalent) and at least one board member annually review all reported Title IX incidents involving covered employees. The review must examine factual findings, conclusions about policy violations, disciplinary actions taken, and supportive measures provided to complainants. Institutions must certify this review to the federal government each year, ensuring leaders didn't interfere with investigations. It directly affects higher education institutions and their leadership, focusing on transparency in handling campus sexual misconduct reports. The law defines "covered employees" as full-time staff or contractors acting for the institution (excluding undergraduate students).
