Scott Walker Budget Deletes College Rape Reporting Requirements

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) nearly $70 billion budget proposal deletes language requiring colleges to report their sexual assault statistics to new students and to the Department of Justice, Jezebel reported on Friday.

Walker’s move follows a year of unprecedented attention on the epidemic of campus assault by the Obama administration and Congress. Ninety-seven colleges and universities are currently under federal investigation for mishandling sexual assaults on their campuses, according to the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
