Campus SaVE Act Depends On Reauthorization Of Violence Against Women Act

Article here. Excerpt:

'Colleges could soon have new national standards for how they handle reported sexual assaults on their campuses, thanks to a provision in the latest re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act was first introduced in 2010 by Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), but now depends on the passage of the Senate version of VAWA, which has incorporated much of its language. It's the most significant reform of policy on how college sexual assaults are handled since the Jeanne Clery Act of 1990 and the Campus Sexual Assault Victim's Bill of Rights of 1992.

The SaVE Act is not without critics. Most notably, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has pushed against the establishment of a National Center for Campus Public Safety, citing concerns for individuals accused of assault. FIRE also has protested the low burden of proof that would be established by the bill, saying it removes safeguards for due process of the accused.'
