Vice President Joe Biden will visit Morehouse College Tuesday during a three-college tour to mobilize students to take action to prevent sexual assault on campuses.

The tour will mark the “It’s On Us’ campaign started last year by the White House and Generation Progress to engage campus communities in preventing sexual assaults.

New federal regulations have been implemented mandating stricter reporting of sex crimes on campus as the White House has urged colleges to crack down on sexual assault. Schools have responded, investing large amounts of time and money toward better prevention, training and enforcement efforts. Without them, they face the loss of billions of dollars in federal aid.

In addition to Morehouse, Biden will visit Clemson University earlier in the day on Nov. 10, and the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on Nov. 9.
