Our Values

We are egalitarians (in the sense of equal treatment, equal rights, and equal responsibilities) and civil libertarians. We do not advocate fealty to a particular political or gender ideology. We simply have a set of principles that we adhere to and advocate. We prefer advocating principles rather than labels per se.

We regard due process not just as a legal matter, but also as a principle that should inform and guide our interactions with the world. We believe allowing someone the chance to present their side of the story, to be judged by fair and equal standards by unbiased decisionmakers, and to present and question evidence is not just a matter of law, but a matter of basic humanity, whether the venue is a court of law, a campus “court,” or the court of public opinion.

Like due process, we see freedom of speech as both a legal matter and a principle, and that suppression of ideas – however inconvenient – is often the wrong approach, whether done by institutions public or private.

We know that when people sign up for our resources, they are entrusting us with a certain level of stewardship and care with their information. Additionally, we understand that Title IX matters are often of a highly sensitive and personal nature. For these reasons, information security is our highest concern.
