The Institution of Higher Education Sexual Misconduct Reporting and Resource Accessibility Act of 2025 mandates that higher education institutions in the District of Columbia employ at least two confidential resource advisors to assist students and employees affected by sexual misconduct. These advisors are responsible for providing resources, information on reporting options, and guidance on accessing supportive measures. The bill also requires annual training for all personnel involved in sexual misconduct investigations and mandates that institutions publish data on the outcomes of their Title IX offices and resource advisors. Additionally, it establishes penalties for non-compliance and includes amnesty protections for students reporting sexual misconduct, ensuring they are not penalized for certain violations of the student code of conduct.

The act emphasizes trauma-informed responses and mandates sexual misconduct awareness and prevention training for undergraduate students, requiring each student to complete two trainings during their education. It protects confidential communications between resource advisors and assisted parties, with limited exceptions for disclosure. The bill outlines comprehensive training requirements for both students and staff, covering topics such as consent and bystander intervention strategies. It also sets minimum criteria for institutional sexual misconduct policies, including emergency assistance information for victims and the roles of Title IX Coordinators. Institutions must report on sexual misconduct outcomes every three years, and the Higher Education Licensure Commission is empowered to impose fines on non-compliant institutions, with revenues directed to support sexual misconduct resource providers.
