AN ACT REQUIRING THE AVAILABILITY OF AN ADVISOR DURING DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS AT INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

Summary

The bill mandates that every Connecticut higher‑education institution adopt a policy by Aug. 1, 2026 guaranteeing students the right to have an advisor or chosen support person present at any disciplinary hearing, as long as it does not delay the meeting. For cases involving sexual assault, stalking, or intimate‑partner violence, existing state rules on advisor accompaniment take precedence if they differ. The measure aims to ensure students have support during potentially serious proceedings.
