The SOS Campus Act requires all colleges and universities that receive federal financial aid to hire an independent advocate dedicated to helping sexual assault survivors. This advocate must be hired based on experience with survivor services, report to someone outside the institution's disciplinary system, and cannot be punished for prioritizing survivors' interests over the school's interests. The advocate's responsibilities include ensuring survivors have access to medical care, counseling, legal information, and other support services, as well as helping survivors navigate reporting and disciplinary processes if they choose to do so. Colleges must inform all employees who receive assault reports about the advocate's existence and must launch awareness campaigns so students know about these services. The legislation takes effect 180 days after enactment, with the Department of Education required to issue regulations during that time period.
