Tyler Clementi Higher Education Anti-Harassment Act of 2023
This bill addresses harassment at institutions of higher education (IHEs).

In addition, the Department of Education may award grants to IHEs to initiate, expand, or improve programs to (1) prevent the harassment of students; (2) provide counseling or redress services to students who have been harassed or accused of subjecting other students to harassment; or (3) educate and train students, faculty, or staff to prevent harassment or address harassment if it occurs.
