'A bill recently introduced in Congress would change the way sexual assault investigations are conducted at universities nationwide – including the University of Texas at Austin.
Supporters say it will strengthen the due process rights of students who are accused of sexual assault.
But many UT Austin students are voicing their concerns. Student Government passed resolution A.R. 14, in opposition to H.R. 3403, also known as the Safe Campus Act.
If the bill is passed, victims of sexual assault will have to decide whether or not they want law enforcement involved in their case. That decision could impact how or if their case is investigated at all.'
