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. Bailey and Provost Linda Delene recently announced the elimination of the doctorate program for clinical psychology and school psychology as well as the master\'s program for industrial psychology. 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 checked the count and I am pacing around my room because we are creeping up on a thousand names and it is honestly wild to see how many people care about keeping these programs alive. If you have five seconds right now please send this link to a few people in your life because we need to hit that milestone before the administration meeting happens later to show them we are not going anywhere.

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!
