Subject: Online Petition: Save the Centre for Ethics
To: [log in to unmask]
Dear all,
The response of friends and allies of the Centre for Ethics to its
impending closure has been nothing short of outstanding. Thanks to
all of you who have sent letters to the Dean of Arts and Science, the
Provost, and President of the University of Toronto urging them to
reverse their decision, and to those who have joined our Facebook
group.
This fight is far from over, however. Building on these individual
expressions of support, we have now launched an online petition as a
medium through which to communicate our collective outrage at this
decision and to enjoin the Faculty to overturn it. The petition can
be found at:
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/centre-for-ethics.html
The preamble offers a more precise look at the rationale being offered
publicly for this move by the Faculty and our response. Please join
us in fighting this wrongheaded and shortsighted decision by adding
your name to the petition.
To those of you who have yet to write your own letters but would like
to, there is still time. The Dean, Provost and President can be
contacted at these addresses:
President David Naylor <[log in to unmask]>
Provost Cheryl Misak <[log in to unmask]>
Dean Meric Gertler <[log in to unmask]>
Thanks to all of you for your attention and support.
Erica
