Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos will hear personal accounts on Thursday from two former students and attorneys representing men who allege they were falsely accused of rape, according to a spokesperson for Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE), a nonprofit that is described by the Southern Policy Law Center (SPLC) as promoting misogyny.

The ex-students meeting with Secretary DeVos are Joseph Roberts, a retired Navy serviceman who previously lobbied members of Congress about what SAVE describes as the “military’s sexual assault witch hunt,” and Jonathon Andrews, a representative from SAVE who claims he was the victim of multiple false accusations that were meant to punish him after Andrews alleged that he was sexually assaulted by a member of his fraternity.

Chris Perry, SAVE's deputy executive director and an attorney who will also attend, said he could not recall whether SAVE or the Department of Education first placed the call to arrange the meeting, but said that SAVE has been "sending them different materials since the [current] administration has taken over."

While he didn’t reveal what the contents of those "materials” were, Perry said SAVE's goal was to open a dialogue with Secretary DeVos about the adjudication of on-campus sexual assault cases.

1. Oh, goody! Next maybe she can open a series of Homes for Unwed Fathers

Where the poor, ruined men can live safely, free from the contempt and condemnation of the world. That Betsy DeVos...what a humanitarian.

2. Women Can Be Misogynists, Too

When women internalize the popular culture and power structure, they can be misogynists, too.

3. Does someone know...

Of a watchdog group or page keeping tabs on DeVos?

I have recently been trying to find out more of what she has been doing other than drips and drabs in the news. Nothing. Would like more info on what's going on in Education.
