Ask Jeff Sessions: Why the Secrecy?

The Department of Justice is being very secretive about a proposed "Campus Information Sharing and Response Project." Stop Abusive and Violent Environments is urging people to ask why, and I've just done so. From the heading of the announcement in the Federal Register, it appears the appropriate topic to select on the form is "Justice Programs." A copy of SAVE’s alert follows.

Dear Friend --

On August 1, 2018 the US Department of Justice announced that it has established a "Campus Information Sharing and Response Project": https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-08-01/pdf/2018-16430.pdf The announcement described the Project as an effort to explore "how institutions of higher education share, respond, and coordinate information to prevent sexual assault perpetration."

SAVE wanted to get more details, so we did a Google search. NOTHING.

So we sent a request to the DOJ public affairs office. We asked, "SAVE has been unable to locate information about the Campus Information Sharing and Response Project, including its statutory basis, scope, objectives, and methods. Please send us a URL link about this Project." NO ANSWER.

It's very strange that a federal agency would establish a new Project, and then refuse to provide information about the program. So this week, please contact Attorney General Jeff Sessions and ask him, "Why is the DOJ keeping the public in the dark about your Campus Information Sharing and Response Project?"

You can send your question by email: https://www.justice.gov/doj/webform/your-message-department-justice Or telephone: 202-514-2000.

Sincerely,
