| 8 | Melissa Jennings | I have had more than five years of involvement in Western's Psychology Department as both an undergraduate and a graduate student and across both the behavior analysis program and the clinical program and I agree that the decision to eliminate the Clinical and IO programs is a grave error on the part of this administration. I am exceedingly proud of the way our department has banded together during this exceptionally tough time and I hope that we will overcome this obstacle. |

| 11 | Amelia Armitage | Some of the best organizational learning I have received has been through colleagues educated at WMU. A major loss to the field to close the school.

| 20 | Kent Smallwood | Utterly ridiculous-this is clearly based on personal politics rather than actual merit, considering the strength of our department. |

| 22 | Rob Ober | These programs are important to the field of Behavior Analysis and to the broader academic community at WMU.... Keep them alive!

| 24 | Richard Sandrock | Those I respect feel your program has provided a tremendous education and thus service to the corporate and social community. Please consider the continuation of your program. |
| 25 | Barbara Bucklin, PhD | I wouldn't be in my current position – Ardent Learning’s Director of Instructional Design - without the education I received in the Industrial Psychology Master's program at WMU. It's an excellent program with brilliant faculty members, and I'm extremely upset that future students may not have access to this program. |

| 27 | Henry B. Winter | I trust that the President and Trustees of WMU will come to their senses and make a data-based decision to expand, rather than cut the graduate programs in Psychology. In fact, I believe that the administration should use the Psychology Department as a benchmark for other graduate programs to which to aspire.

| 28 | Thomas G. Szabo | The clinical and industrial psychology programs of the WMU Psychology Department are among the finest in the world, internationally recognized, as well as economically viable for this institution. A substantial number of noted scholars are conferred degrees from these programs. Please consider the impact of this decision on the international scientific and academic communities.
Thank you for your consideration.

| 35 | Helen D. Pratt, PhD | As a product of the psychology Department, I developed unique business, analysis, and clinical skills from matriculating through a program in which I learned from IO psychology, ABA and Clinical Psychology. The training I received at WMU from the Psychology department has been invaluable. I continue to train their students and would not be as effective in my clinic without the contributions of clinical students in psychology!! The IO and Clinical programs are essential to WMU. |

| 43 | Dr. Keith Ruckstuhl | To whom it may concern- the skills brought to our community by the WMU programs- including the I/O and clinical programs- have a tremendous impact on our society and economy. Ending these programs would cause talented undergraduate and graduate students to have to go to other universities to get the same quality of education they can now receive at WMU. Companies will have to hire students with these skills from other universities and other states. And lastly, WMU will lose some of it's luster as a leading educational institution. These programs do good research, add both academic and applied value to psychology and the community, and it is dissapointing to think that some folks may not realize or recognize the value these programs offer to the community, local businesses, the profession, and most of all, the university. Sincerely,
Keith Ruckstuhl, Ph.D.
p.s. I'm not a WMU alumni, but I am a member of this community and do not want this precious resource discarded. |
