The Alliance of BC Students supports the implementation of specific requirements for public post-secondary institutions in British Columbia on the collection and public distribution of data and information on the utilization and implementation of campus sexual violence and misconduct policies, as required under Act 23 through regulation. We further encourage that the annual reports to the public post-secondary institution's governing body required under Act 23 also be submitted to the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training. We encourage the Province of British Columbia to require public post-secondary institutions to provide students who have interacted with their respective campus sexual violence and misconduct policies with a standardized feedback survey and that the anonymized information collected by these surveys be included in an institution's annual public report. We encourage the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training to cause a rubric on data collection consistency to be developed that is consistent with recommendation 6 in the Courage to Act report from Possibility Seeds. We further encourage the Ministry of Advanced Education to collect reports from undergraduate and graduate student associations as each public post-secondary institution in the province on their respective institution's required 3-year sexual violence and misconduct policy review under Act 23, to ensure that students are being consulted in these processes as is required under Act 23.

The Alliance of BC Students supports the introduction of minimum standards into the Sexualized Violence and Misconduct Policy Act, and the requirement that these minimum standards be included in the development of all Sexualized Violence and Misconduct Policies for every post-secondary institution currently bound by the Act. We support the creation of an independent, external monitoring agency to act as an oversight mechanism with regard to the handling of complaints, reports, or recorded disclosures of sexualized violence and misconduct on post-secondary campuses. We support a requirement in the Sexualized Violence and Misconduct Policy Act that mandates that institutions must publicly report data regarding how their Sexualized Violence and Misconduct Policies are being interacted with, in order to achieve increased institutional accountability. We support the provincial government creating a taskforce or committee to evaluate the Provincial Information and Privacy Act’s survivor-centrism, and clarify the ways in which the Provincial Information and Privacy Act interacts with the Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act.
