What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires each University of Wisconsin System school and each technical college to ensure the safety and continued access to education of student victims of sexual violence and harassment by providing these student victims with reasonable accommodations, including, to the extent they are reasonably available, housing and academic accommodations and campus escorts. The bill defines “sexual violence and harassment” to mean sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, or domestic abuse, as these terms are defined or prohibited under other provisions of current law. A UW System school or technical college must notify a student victim of the student's right to these accommodations as soon as the student reports the sexual violence and harassment to the school or technical college, the school or technical college becomes aware that the student filed a report of sexual violence and harassment, or notice is received by the school or technical college from a law enforcement agency that the student filed a report of sexual violence and harassment, regardless of whether the student pursues a formal investigation through the school, technical college, or law enforcement, and must grant a student victim these accommodations upon the student's request. A UW System school or technical college may not impose any additional fees or academic penalties on a student victim in response to making these accommodations.
