FIRE met with Congressional Staffers to discuss the issue of campus sexual assault. We also conducted a briefing on the issue for congressional staffers. We discussed the Campus Accountability and Safety Act (CASA-)S. 590 and H.R. 1310, the Safe Campus Act (H.R. 3403), and the Fair Campus Act (H.R. 3408). FIRE has not endorsed any of these bills. Instead we are explaining to Congress which provisions in each bill we like and which provisions we oppose. FIRE is advocating that any final legislation must include meaningful due process/ procedural protections, like the right to active assistance of counsel and the right to the disclosure of any exculpatory and inculpatory evidence known to a college. FIRE also met with Congressional staffers to discuss overly restrictive speech codes on college campuses, threats to academic freedom, and overreach by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. No legislation is pending on those issues.
