Dear Representative__(last name)__:
Please Co-Sponsor H.R. 128!
Recently, The David Shick Honesty in Campus Justice Act, was re-introduced
by Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen (NJ-11) with the purpose “to
amend the Federal Education Right to Privacy Act (FERPA) to improve
the access of the victims of crimes to information concerning the
outcome of disciplinary proceedings by institutions of higher education.”
It has currently referred to the Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness
of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
It is the result of numerous cases of campus crime that go unpunished
and the policy of many colleges and universities to hide the results
of disciplinary hearings from the victims of violent crimes and
non-forcible sex offenses.
I would like to urge you to show your support for victims of campus
crime and their right to information about campus disciplinary hearings.
I believe there is no reason that this Bill should stay in
Committee and would like my Congressman’s pledge of support for
this legislation by Co-Sponsoring H.R. 128. This legislation
is far too important for my Representative to wait on the sidelines
for it to come before him on the House Floor.
Thank you in advance for your support. I know you will see that
this is important legislation and a worthy cause that should not
be overlooked.
Sincerely,
Mr./Ms./Mrs. __(your name)__
