Alums for Campus Fairness Launches National Ad Campaign to Activate Parents and Advocate for Safe College Campuses

New York, NY – October 14, 2024 – Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF), a leading voice for alumni seeking accountability and fairness on college campuses, is launching a national advertising campaign to empower parents to advocate for safer, education-focused environments at their children’s universities. The ads feature real college students and parents speaking out, calling on university administrators to take immediate action to protect students and prioritize academics.

This campaign is a direct appeal to parents in the wake of last year’s violent campus protests, which led to the cancellation of classes and disrupted graduations across the country. The campaign emphasizes that parents have saved for decades through 529 plans, and their children are taking on massive amounts of debt, only to have their education disrupted. Colleges must be held accountable for creating secure environments where learning is uninterrupted.

The ads, which will run nationally, feature students and parents sharing their personal experiences and concerns about the current campus climate. Their voices reinforce the need for parents to act and for universities to provide a stable learning environment.

“Parents have invested in their children’s education for years, emotionally and financially,” said Avi D. Gordon, Executive Director of Alums for Campus Fairness. “It is unacceptable for students to face violence, fear, and uncertainty in what should be a safe place for learning. This campaign aims to hold college administrators accountable and ensure that campuses are places where students can focus on their education, free from disruption and threats.”

Parents are encouraged to visit SafeCampusNow.com to sign a petition that will be sent directly to their children’s college administrators, urging them to implement policies that prioritize student safety and protect academic continuity.
