Accused! Tell the DED to End Campus Kangaroo Courts

The Issue

The Dept. of Education’s Sex Assault Directive turns campus disciplinary panels into Kangaroo Courts that strip the accused of the right to legal counsel and potentially make every student guilty of sexual harassment.

Sweeping definitions of rape and sexual harassment, along with relaxed evidentiary standards, make false allegations incredibly easy to make! That makes it harder for real victims to be believed.

The American Association of University Professors and 12 other organizations -- and over 100 editorials -- have come out against this unconstitutional policy: http://www.saveservices.org/falsely-accused/sex-assault/accusing-u

HELP US STOP THE TYRANNY OF GOOD INTENTIONS. Call on Dept. of Ed Secretary Arne Duncan to remove its harmful Sexual Assault Directive and bring an end to campus Kangaroo Courts!
