AB 1000

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.
