The mission of FACE is to support and advocate for equal treatment and due process for those affected by inequitable Title IX campus disciplinary processes, and influence campus culture through outreach and education.
FACE strives to ensure fair, unbiased, gender-neutral campus Title IX sexual misconduct disciplinary processes for ALL students, whether they are female, male, LGBTQ, or other gender identities and gender orientations. To achieve this goal we educate legislators on both the state and federal levels, participate in task forces and other projects geared toward creating balanced Title IX procedures, meet with Department of Education and Justice representatives, and use radio, television, print and social media to publicize our concerns and recommendations.
FACE understands the importance of and provides resources and support to college students wrongfully accused of Title IX violations on their campuses and their families. We hold meetings twice a year for families to connect and hear from experts in their fields, and provide other ways for families and students to connect on national and regional bases.
FACE does not advocate for the removal, denial or withdrawal of any student’s civil rights, Title IX protections, nor do we campaign for termination of Department of Education Office of Civil Right’s efforts to assist campuses in addressing sexual misconduct on their campuses. We believe fairness and equity can be achieved in cooperation with those from differing perspectives who are willing to cast aside preconceived beliefs and engage us with respect and understanding.
