Group asks universities to crack down on false rape claims across the nation

Article here. Excerpt:

'Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE), a nonprofit victim-advocacy organization, is asking colleges to crack down on false accusations of sexual assault, citing a growing number of false claims.

In a letter to the president of the University of Montana, a campus that had a recent sexual assault case involving an athlete, SAVE addressed the problem of false claims.

According to the letter, ”during the past year, false-rape cases have been reported at the University of North Dakota, Yale University, University of Connecticut, University of North Florida, Xavier University and elsewhere.”
SAVE tries to broaden its argument by saying all false claims, not just claims of sexual crimes, are occurring, citing an article from the University of Northern Florida’s Spinnaker.

According to the article, police are now giving students citations for false claims to combat the increasing occurrence.

Though SAVE is adamant about addressing the issue, Jay Huff, Missouri State’s Safety and Transportation assistant director, said false claims aren’t a new problem.'
