Scott Walker Budget Deletes College Rape Reporting Requirements

Scott Walker’s budget drops the requirement to report college rape statistics to new students and to the Justice Department.

The budget, unveiled earlier this month, removes a requirement that directs “each institution and college campus to incorporate oral and written or electronic information on sexual assault in its orientation program for newly entering students and to supply all students enrolled in the institution or college campus with the same information in either printed or electronic form.”

It also deletes the requirement that any university employee who witnesses a sexual assault must report that assault to the dean of students, the requirement that each school report sexual assault statistics annually to the DOJ, and the requirement compelling the DOJ to include those statistics in crime reports.

Walker’s two-year spending plan does not appear to replace the rape reporting requirements with anything, and it’s out of step with federal law. Colleges are currently required to incorporate prevention programs and information about sexual assault reporting options in orientation per the Violence Against Women Act, and they are required to report their sexual assault statistics annually to the DOJ.

A spokesman for Walker said The University of Wisconsin system requested the deletion of provisions of “duplicative reporting requirements,” since the federal government already requires reporting.

    Is this how he would deal with daesh if they attacked the Mall of America? Just not report it to the press?

      It would be downplayed at the very least, if not outright attributed to Obama;s policies.

    Hmmmmm……one must wonder if he’s trying to clean up his own record. I think a little investigative reporting is in order.

    If ISIS cut off Walkers’s head, it wouldn’t be a beheading it would be a circumcision

    [Editor’s Note: After Jezebel ran this item yesterday, a spokesman for the University of Wisconsin came forward—over two weeks after the budget was released—to clarify: the University requested that Gov. Walker delete the requirements because efforts were redundant with their compliance of the Clery Act. Scott Walker’s camp assures that he’s committed to protecting victims. We reported this piece without full context, and while this piece conveys factual information, omission of that context for that information presents an unfair and misleading picture. We regret the error and apologize.]
