Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution is a House simple resolution expressing support for designating September 2025 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It does not create new law, change legal rights, or require action by the Senate or the President. In practice it records the House of Representatives official view and encourages awareness and related activities on campuses. It is non-binding and does not allocate funding.
The resolution expresses the House of Representatives’ support for designating September 2025 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
It cites statistics and findings about the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses, patterns (e.g., higher risk for freshmen/sophomores and during early months of the school year), low reporting rates, gaps in campus policies and training, and impacts on survivors.
The resolution is a nonbinding expression of support and does not create new legal requirements, appropriations, or regulatory mandates.
Because the measure is a simple House resolution expressing support for an awareness month and contains no binding legal changes, it cannot become law as written; historically these resolutions are used for statements of support and do not create legal obligations. If the objective were passage in the House as a symbolic measure, that is likely; becoming law is not applicable.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative resolution that clearly articulates the issue and the action (support for designating September 2025 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month). The factual findings are extensive and the single operative clause is unambiguous. The resolution contains minimal implementation, fiscal, legal-integration, or accountability detail, which is typical and proportionate for a symbolic designation.
Scope of response: liberals push for concrete funding and enforcement; conservatives emphasize avoiding federal mandates and protecting due process.

A liberal/left-leaning person would likely view the resolution positively as a needed acknowledgment of the prevalence of campus sexual assault and as a step toward destigmatizing survivors and encouraging prevention and support.
They would see the cited statistics as evidence that federal attention and resources are warranted to improve training, reporting options, medical care (e.g., SANE access), and survivor services.
They would view an awareness month as useful but probably insufficient without accompanying funding, enforceable standards, or stronger campus accountability.
A centrist/moderate would likely view the resolution as a reasonable, low-cost, bipartisan statement that draws attention to a demonstrable problem.
They would appreciate awareness and prevention efforts but want clarity that this is symbolic, and would look for measurable outcomes, respect for due process, and careful federal-state balance.
Centrists would support the designation as long as it does not authorize unfunded federal mandates or bypass standard campus adjudicative protections.
A mainstream conservative would generally support efforts to reduce sexual assault and protect students but may be cautious about resolutions that appear to endorse specific campus policies (e.g., affirmative consent) or expand federal influence over campus adjudication.
Because this resolution is nonbinding and symbolic, many conservatives would not oppose it and may welcome increased awareness and prevention efforts.
However, they would emphasize preserving due process for the accused, local control by colleges and states, and avoiding unfunded federal mandates or policies that could be perceived as presuming guilt.
