In June 2017, the New Jersey Task Force on Campus Sexual Assault released a set of recommendations for colleges and universities on how they can better address the sensitive issue.
By the end of March, the Legislature is likely to pass a bill significantly extending the statute of limitations for sex-abuse civil lawsuits in New Jersey.
Senate panel advances an 11-bill package dealing with how schools handle sexual abuse allegations, on the heels of hidden-camera videos of union leaders.
"We can not reduce or eliminate sexual violence on college campuses if we're not willing to do the hard work back in our homes and in our communities," said Patricia Teffenhart, co-chair of the task force and executive director of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
