The LWVWV has sent a letter (attached) to President Gee, the Provost, and the Board of
Governors opposing proposed cuts to faculty, staff, degrees, and (in some cases) entire
departments at WVU. As stated in the opening lines of the letter:
The League of Women Voters of West Virginia (LWVWV) opposes the cuts proposed for the faculty, staff, degrees, and course offerings of West Virginia University (WVU). We also oppose the punitive manner inwhich these cuts are being implemented and the obvious efforts to downplay the adverse impacts on theuniversity, the community, and the state.
Until at least September 15, WVU faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community members
need to write letters or attend any public events on these issues. The impacts of the WVU cuts
will be felt not just within WVU, or the Morgantown area, but will ripple throughout the state
of West Virginia.
We urge all LWVWV members to make their voices heard on these important issues
immediately.
