Our Mission

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 involved, whether female, male, LGBTQ, or other gender identities and expressions. 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, faculty members, and their families wrongfully accused of Title IX violations on their campuses. We hold meetings for families to connect and hear from relevant experts, and provide other ways for families and students to communicate 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 the termination of the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights’ efforts to assist campuses in addressing sexual misconduct on their campuses. We believe fairness and equity can be achieved on the basis of good faith negotiations with colleges and state and federal representatives.
