| 658 | Steve Peck | The health and applied behavioral sciences need evidence-based guidance now more than ever; removing the clinicial, school, and industrial psychology programs appears to serve no one and will slow progress on building healthy communities. |

| 660 | Rita Kenyon-Jump, Ph.D. | As an alumna of WMU's doctoral program in Clinical Psychology and one who directly assesses the quality of doctoral candidates from universities and professional schools of psychology across the nation in my position as a clinical psychologist, I am in a position to attest to the quality of the program. The Ph.D. graduates of WMU's Clinical Psychology program are exceptional. I would like to add that the Industrustial Psychology program is nationally known. |
| 661 | Lavonia LeBeau | The decision to cut the master's program in industrial psychology and the clinical psychology doctorate programs is a grave error. I do hope you will reconsider. |

| 666 | Mary Inman, Ph.D. | I predict closing these programs will hurt Michigan. The bright students will go out of state and stay out of state. |

| 677 | Robert Sewell, Ph.D. | ~ I possess the Doctorate in Experimental Psychology from WMU (1985), and as a result have had the opportunity to work in a variety of scientific, health & human service settings. I have also had the honor of having watched numerous of my peers in the WMU Clinical Ph.D. program graduate and then make significant contributions to America's well-being. I am writing to tell you that I am sickened and find it absolutely bizzare that the WMU President's Office is even considering dismantling this national flagship program. Do this, and I will work tirelessly for change in leadership. |
| 678 | Sandra Portko, Ph.D. | As a developmental psychologist, I am well aware of the need for highly trained, knowledgeable psychologists in the fields of clinical, school and industrial psychology. The needs in those tree areas are increasing, not decreasing. Eliminating programs athat have been proven themselves at a time when the demand is greater than ever does not seem a prudent action. I strongly support maintaining all three of those programs so that the community of the greater western Michigan area will continue to be effectively served. |
| 679 | Dennis Hunyadi | I wish to express my support in saving a nationally and internationally renowned Psychology Program. |
| 680 | Anonymous | I wonder how many lives in the families and friends of WMU President Judith I. Bailey and Provost Linda Delene have been improved due to the success of the graduates of these psychology programs. MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. |

| 685 | Michelle VanWagner | I was offered a spot in a Ph.D. program at a comparable school which a significantly better funding package than that which is offered at WMU, so that I could accept an entirely unfunded position in the industrial psychology master's program. WMU has truly outstanding faculty, whose reputatioins pull in students from all over the world! It is a serious mistake to cut these programs. |

| 693 | Dr. Senez Rodriguez-Charbonier | I am a graduate of clinical psychoalogy program and have been successfully employed as a university professor at Grand Valley State University for the last 14 years and currently tenured and promoted. I am saddened by the news that you are proposing the elimination of this vital program in your university. This is the only university in this area with a strong behavioral component with much to offer to the scientific community. I strongly request that you reconsider your desicion on behalf of this vital self-supported program at WMU |
| 694 | Kathryn Holcomb | |
| 695 | V. Thomas Mawhinney, Ph.D. | I am writing to both President Bailey and also to the WMU board of trustees. The closing of these two lumious programs is incomprehensible to me. |
| 696 | Michelle Arnold | |
| 697 | Janice E. Brown | The master's program in industrial psychology has a fine reputation for preparing its students for professional careers in training, human resources and operations analysis. It has added prestige to the University wherever its graduates have been employed. Please reconsider this decision. |
| 698 | Rob Hammel | |
| 699 | Amanda Kowalski | The psychology programs are very important to me, I plan to go to grad school and possibly further. I would not want that chance to be taken away for anyone. |
