We are writing to you on behalf of psychology students at Western Michigan University. As many of you may have heard, WMU President Judith I.

We strongly believe that this decision is a grave error that will hurt WMU, the surrounding community, and the profession for years to come.

I just saw the count hit one hundred and honestly my hands are shaking a bit because I really thought this would just be me and a few friends shouting into the void. It is wild to see so many people actually caring about these clinical and industrial programs and I am just sitting here staring at the screen in pure disbelief.

Bad move. WMU is supposed to be a top tier research school not a place that guts its best departments!

Cutting these programs is a huge mistake. The clinical psych doctorate is iconic at western. Fix this immediately!!

I went through the master's program and it changed my whole career. Don't take this away from future students.
