Schools would need to establish clearer reporting mechanisms, train staff on handling these cases, and ensure consistent enforcement of anti-harassment rules across campuses. The legislation aims to create safer learning environments for all students by holding institutions accountable for addressing harassment complaints promptly and fairly.
