Dianna Thompson is a nationally recognized expert on families, stepfamilies, and divorce-related issues and is a longtime advocate for the falsely accused. She learned about and became involved with FACE while lobbying and testifying against California’s affirmative consent law and similar federal laws.  An author of opinion pieces on sexual assault, Dianna has been quoted in the media and on radio shows.

Dianna believes that students who have been falsely accused of sexual assault on college campuses don’t receive adequate due process protections and face biased school tribunals that require only the lowest standard of proof and use overly broad definitions of sexual assault, all of which often result in expulsion from their colleges.  Dianna states, “These destructive laws and policies come at a time when we’re already seeing college male dropout rates climbing and their college completion rates falling.”  She hopes to use her political background and media experience to help restore due process rights on college campuses and to eliminate the devastation experienced by falsely accused students and their families as a result of these laws and policies.
