Student Project: Title IX, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault: Additional Information

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States."

SAFER was started by Columbia University students in 2000 after a successful sexual assault policy reform campaign. After getting requests from around the country to advise on other policy reform campaigns, SAFER’s original student leaders incorporated into a 501c3. Since that time, SAFER has run as a volunteer collective, once with a two-year stint with a paid Executive Director. SAFER is the organization it is because of the generations of student activists who have served on the Board; yet SAFER is bigger than any one activist.

The Title IX team’s mission is to eliminate, prevent, and redress known instances of gender-based misconduct or violence with fair and efficient processes that are intended to support the entire University Community.

Founded in 2013, Know Your IX is a survivor- and youth-led project of Advocates for Youth that aims to empower students to end sexual and dating violence in their schools.
