Following up on Lyn's email and our letter to the WVU Board of Governors and administration, I wanted to forward this survey from Create WV regarding the WVU debacle, which was shared with me by several people. You don't have to be a WVU alum to complete this survey. Everyone in our state is affected by what is happening with the University.
We need to let the Board of Governors and the adminstration know that we oppose cuts proposed for the faculty, staff, degrees, and course offerings, as well as the punitive manner in which these cuts are being implemented and the obvious efforts to downplay the adverse impacts on the university, the community, and the state. The survey and tonight's visioning session are another way to make some noise and take action in response to the WVU bugetary crisis.
