New York has the following. It's NYS Education law, Title 7, article 129-A.
The sexual assault piece has been there since 1990. Domestic violence and
stalking were added this past spring.

  information. Each college shall inform incoming  students  about  sexual
  assault,  domestic  violence  and  stalking  prevention measures through
  programs which may include workshops, seminars, discussion  groups,  and
  film   presentations,  in  order  to  disseminate  information,  promote
  discussion, encourage reporting, and  facilitate  prevention  of  sexual
  assault, domestic violence and stalking. Such information shall include,
  but not be limited to:
    1.  the  applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations relating to such
  offenses;
    2. the penalties for the commission  of  a  sex  offense,  a  domestic
  violence incident and a stalking offense;
    3.  the  procedures  in  effect  at  the college for dealing with such

    4. the availability of counseling and other support services  for  the
  victims of such offenses;
    5.  the  nature  of and common circumstances relating to sex offenses,
  incidents  of  domestic  violence  and  stalking  offenses  on   college
  campuses; and

Does anyone out there live in a state that has a statute regarding
mandatory sexual assault education for state colleges/universities? I
know Wisconsin does this and PA is working on passing legislation.
Anyone else?! Thanks!
