Contacting Russlynn Ali's boss

It seems that Russlynn Ali is ignoring us in our protesting her decision to scrap the rights of men on college campuses. Now SAVE advises we email her boss about her decision. I think this is a good idea and a much more effective one than contacting Ali herself. I'll let Teri Stoddard take it from here:

As we reported last week, the U.S. Department of Education (DED) has issued a directive that requires colleges to use the "preponderance of evidence" standard in handling allegations of sexual assault, a standard that in practice removes the presumption of innocence.

Editorials rightly continue to condemn this directive, like:The New Rules of College Sex.

We'd like to thank all of you who contacted Ms. Russlyn Ali, Assistant Secretary, Office for Civil Rights last week by email and phone. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

We are being ignored, and that is unacceptable. This week we take it to the top!

Let's flood the inbox and voice mailbox of Secy. Of Education Arne Duncan. Be resolute and be persistent. Politely yet firmly insist Mr. Duncan remove the sex assault policy that strips due process from the accused.

Please contact Arne Duncan today:

•Telephone: 202-401-3000
•Email: arne.duncan@ed.gov

Your voice matters. Use it.

Sincerely,

Teri

There are almost as many feminists in India as there are here in the U.S.
