Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator __(last name)__:
Please Support this Legislation!
Recently, The David Shick Honesty in Campus Justice Act (H.R.
81), was re-introduced in the House 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 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 by sponsoring comparable legislation
in the Senate. This legislation is far too important
for my Senator to wait on the sidelines for H.R. 128 to die
in the House during another Congress.
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. __________
