SAVE: U.S. Rep's Math Still Wrong
Thank you for telling U.S. Representative Jared Polis on Monday that it's wrong to expel innocence students.
As you may recall, Rep. Polis stated that a student should be expelled if there is only a 20% chance he is guilty.
He has since apologized! http://www.dailycamera.com/guest-opinions/ci_28818663/jared-polis-colleges-should-handle-sex-assault-cases
In his apology, however, he states that 1 in 5 female students in the class of 2019 will be assaulted or raped. Perhaps Polis likes the number "20%," but we know this number has been debunked: http://www.saveservices.org/sexual-assault/myths/
We want you to contact Rep. Polis again and tell him that he needs to look at facts before advocating for sexual assault policy changes. To do otherwise is dangerous and unprofessional.
