A strong majority of Americans favor due process protections for students accused of sexual assault: http://bipp.blogs.bucknell.edu/files/2017/09/BIPP-Higher-Ed-Toplines.pdf

So persons were surprised by Sen. Patty Murray of Washington who recently tweeted that Dept. of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos “wants to weaken student protections so — an unmarried mother may be denied admission, a woman could be thrown out for using birth control & an LGBTQ student could be subjected to cruel punishment at school.” https://www.chronicle.com/article/DeVos-Calls-Democratic/244809

Huh?

Federal bureaucrats normally don’t argue with lawmakers in public. But Murray went too far. So DeVos tweeted back, “This is completely false and you know it, @PattyMurray. It’s also unbecoming and irresponsible of a U.S. Senator to sow fear and falsehood. Our efforts will restore #DueProcess and support all students, including survivors.”

Let’s all express our thanks to Secretary DeVos for her vigorous defense of due process: Tweet @BetsyDeVosED or call 202-401-3000. Tell her #TitleIXDueProcessMatters.

Sincerely,
The SAVE Team
