In an open letter to Congress on Friday, the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Against Women urged lawmakers to pass legislation to increase protection for women from sexual assault, rape and other forms of campus violence, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. The letter recomended a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which has been authorized by both the House of Representatives and the Senate but is stalled because they have been unable to compromise on competing versions of the bill. The House version excludes protections for minority victims, and the Senate version advocates stricter enforcement guidelines. Proponents of the act hope that legislation will be expanded to protect minority victims and will add domestic violence and stalking to the crimes that must be reported under the Clery Act. Over 200 campus violence victims from 176 colleges signed the letter, according to The Chronicle.
