What should be done about sexual assault in college? And what, if anything, should Congress do? The Senate Committee on Health, Education Labor and Pensions takes up those questions Wednesday morning in a hearing that suggests sexual assault will become part of the debate in revising the nation’s higher education law.

Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), plans to hear from a bipartisan group of senators who want to set standards for training about sexual assault at colleges and establish new penalties for schools that fail to follow federal laws related to safety and gender discrimination.
