肯塔基州：州长要求全州高校90天内审查性侵防范政策
肯塔基州州长 Andy Beshear 10月21日在每周「肯塔基团队」发布会上表示，已要求全州每所学院与大学在未来90天内审查其性侵防范政策与做法，审查内容包括宣传教育、求助资源的可及性、报告程序与正当程序。
Beshear 同时请州高等教育委员会（Council on Postsecondary Education）确保公立大学董事会成员熟悉性骚扰政策、报告流程与调查程序。他表示，提出这一要求并非指认任何学校失职，而是希望各校借此检视还有哪些可以改进之处；州长办公室在宣布前已联系州内主要高校，得到的回应积极。
这一审查要求出台之际，美国高校校园性侵议题正受到全国关注，其中包括涉及 Cornell 大学的一桩诉讼。审查的具体安排与时间表以各校及州高等教育委员会的后续公布为准。
州长 Andy Beshear 于10月21日致信全州各高校，要求各校在接下来90天内对本校涉及性侵与性骚扰的政策与做法进行一次严格复查，并在复查完成后公布结果。信中列出的复查范围包括：宣传教育活动、获取支持资源的便利程度、举报步骤、受害人服务、正当程序、旁观者干预预防，以及关于打击报复的教育。Beshear 说，其办公室在宣布前已联系州内主要高校，各校回应积极。
Kentucky: Governor Asks Colleges to Review Sexual Assault Policies Within 90 Days
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said at his weekly Team Kentucky briefing on October 21 that he has asked every college and university in the commonwealth to review their sexual assault policies and practices over the next 90 days, covering awareness campaigns, access to resources, reporting steps and due process.
Beshear also asked the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education to ensure that public university board members understand sexual harassment policies, reporting practices and investigation procedures. He said the request does not suggest any institution has failed students, but is a way to look for improvements, and that his office contacted the state's major universities before the announcement and received encouraging responses.
The request comes amid a national conversation about sexual assault on college campuses, including a lawsuit involving Cornell University. Schedules and review arrangements will be set out by the institutions and the Council on Postsecondary Education.
In his letter, Beshear said administrators should examine awareness campaigns, ease of access to resources, reporting steps, victim services, due process, bystander prevention, and education about retaliation. Beshear said his office had contacted the state's major institutions before the announcement and received positive responses.
