SAVE has had a major impact on federal and state legislation by means of hundreds of meetings with lawmakers and staffers.
As a result of complaints filed by SAVE, the Office for Civil Rights has ended hundreds of female-only scholarships.
Each month, the SAVE website receives thousands of page views from persons around the globe.
Sent to media contacts, university officials, lawmakers, and others, SAVE’s press releases address the latest developments in campus due process.
WHY SAVE?
Due process is essential to assure that decisions of “innocence” or “guilt” are accurate and reliable. Due process protections include timely notification of allegations, an impartial investigation, fair hearing, the right to appeal, and the presumption of innocence.
Beginning around 2010, campus activists began to push dubious claims about “rape culture” and “one-in-five.” These claims gave rise to a moral panic that justified the 2011 Dear Colleague Letter on Sexual Violence. The policy led to the broad revocation of due process protections on college campuses — hence the term, “Kangaroo Courts.”
This moral panic began to fade in 2020 when the new Title IX regulation went into effect. But in June 2022, the Biden released a draft regulation that endangered many of the due process protections of the 2020 policy.
The Title IX Journey
Call to Withdraw
2011: SAVE sent a letter calling on the U.S. Department of Education to rescind its unlawful and harmful Dear Colleague Letter.
Public Awareness Campaign
2012: SAVE launched a high-profile media campaign using TV, radio, print editorials, and social media to challenge the dubious “rape culture” narrative.
Title IX Equity Project
2018: SAVE started the Title IX Equity Project. As a result, hundreds of universities have ended their illegal, female-only scholarships.
VICTORY!
2020: The new Title IX regulation finally took effect. The policy represents a civil rights breakthrough for colleges across the country.
Pushing Back…
2024: Joe Biden has issued a Title IX regulation that guts due process. To date, multiple judges have issued decisions against the harmful policy.
