Amends the Public Community College Act. Provides that a community college district board of trustees may, in the board's discretion, suspend, expel, or remove a student for any act of sexual abuse, as defined in certain provisions of the Criminal Code of 2012, while enrolled at the community college, regardless of whether the act occurred on or off the community college campus or whether the act is related to a college activity or college attendance.

Provides that prior to suspension, expulsion, or removal of a student, the school administration shall conduct a hearing on the matter. Provides that the administration shall provide notice to the student at least 30 days prior to the hearing and inform the student of the right to be represented by counsel or other representative.
