   Comments: I am sure that the budget of both of these liberal arts branches are comparably minute in comparison to those in many of the other parts of our huge university; surely there are other areas that can cut slightly to preserve the autonomy of these departments.

   Comments: It is absolutely essential that the University of South Florida recognize your department as an asset. If USF hopes to maintain a positive reputation in the academic world, they will find a different solution to the budget problem. I wish your department all the best.

   Name, Position and Affiliation: Alyssa Clutterbuck, Graduate Student in Africana Studies, Cornell University

   Comments: A similar situation is happening with the Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University. Administrators are using the recession to get rid of 'minoritarian' (i.e. counter-hegemonic) disciplines that they believe to be expendable, and therefore worthy of downgrading. Our Provost, Kent Fuchs, on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, announced his unilateral decision to move the Africana Center into the College of Arts and Sciences-- a move that will ultimately take away decision making by progressive faculty and faculty of color. This type of institutional restructuring will only lead to college campuses that lack curricula relevant to people of color, women, women of color, LGBTQ people and all those at the margins. I will circulate this petition widely. I encourage you all to look at our petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/saveafricana/ In Solidarity and With Love.

    Comments: We will not silenced by "austerity measures" or any other of the usual racist sexist jargon about the modern university its duty under neoliberalism to reconfigure entire communities without their consent. They're trying to cut our Africana Center at Cornell, and all of our support and academic services for minorities are constantly undermined. Solidarity from Ithaca, NY.

    Comments: The same is happening at Cornell. A decision was made to move the administrative over sight of the Africana Studies and Research Center from the Office of the Provost to the College of Arts and Sciences. This undermines the self-determination of the Center. This move seems to be a national trend. I support you all in your cause.

    Name, Position and Affiliation: graduate of usf and women's studies minor

    Comments: The women's studies department at USF, was by far the most important coursework I have taken in my life and was critical in making me the person I am today (especially Juanita Williams, my instructor and mentor; Etta Breit; Joe Ferrandio, etc) This department and these people unlocked doors that allowed me and others to understand the world and how it is shaped; what I and others can do to reshape our world into something less violent, less dominating, less selfish; and to move toward a place that values all humans and the planet equally. This is the first and only department I would fight for. For reference, I am male.
