The Second Report of the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault

Publication Date: 2017
Abstract: In January 2014, President Obama and Vice President Biden issued a presidential memorandum creating the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. In collaboration with federal partners, the Task Force has produced a number of tools for students, administrators, faculty, campus police, health care professionals, and others who play key roles in these efforts. The Task Force released the Not Alone report in 2014, which included action steps and recommendations to improve the way schools are preventing and responding to sexual assault. The Second Report of the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, the second and final report, builds on the recommendations and lessons learned from the first report of the Task Force and documents the advances that have been made throughout this Administration to address sexual misconduct in higher education. It also highlights some of the innovative and forward thinking initiatives that have been undertaken by campuses around the nation.
