  Urging all Universities to designate and maintain a sexual assault 
coordinator on staff who can be accessed by student victims of domestic 
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking on campus and in

Whereas among undergraduate students, 23.1 percent of females and 5.4 percent of 
        males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, 
        violence, or incapacitation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives, urges all colleges and 
universities to designate and maintain a full time sexual assault 
coordinator on staff who can assist student victims of domestic 
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to help ensure 
that all student victims receive appropriate guidance, health services, 
and legal assistance that they may need.
