CAMPUS SEXUAL VIOLENCE ELIMINATION (SaVE) ACT

The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act was signed into law in 2013, as part of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization. This law mandates increased transparency on campus about incidents of sexual violence, guarantees victims enhanced rights, sets standards for disciplinary proceedings, and requires campus-wide prevention education programs. The Campus SaVE Act amends the Clery Act which addresses campus sexual assault policies within the Higher Education Act of 1965.
