SOS Campus Act

The SOS Campus Act requires colleges and universities receiving federal student aid to appoint an independent advocate to support students who experience sexual assault. This advocate provides 24/7 services including crisis counseling, medical referrals, legal information, and assistance navigating reporting processes, while maintaining victim confidentiality. The advocate must report to an entity outside the institution's investigation team and cannot face retaliation for representing victims. Schools must also publicly promote the advocate's services through websites, orientation materials, and campus posters.
