| 205 | Melissa A. Polusny, PhD | As a clinical psychologist at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, I have a long history of collaboration and connection with the outstanding doctoral students from WMU clinical psychology program. WMU clinical students have an extremely strong reputation for being well-trained, scientist-practitioners. The elimination of the WMU clinical psychology doctoral program would be an enormous loss to the field of psychology. I hope you will consider reversing this grave error and reinstate the programs. |

| 209 | Grisel Puertos | The I/O program is extremely valuable in the Psychology Department and should not be eliminated. Many students have greatly benefited and it would be a mistake to deny students this curriculum. |

| 211 | Jill Smalley | The IO Psychology core graduate courses has complimented and afforded the opportunity to retain employment through an ever changing environment. Not only has my business career been strengthened but so has my personal life. Recognizing concepts, process – inputs/outputs and feedback mechanisms has been an ongoing benefit. |

| 216 | Tom Wodushek | You can't succesfully pursue science when leaving out the scientist. One: Clinical psychology training is a great way to create the critical thinking skills a scientist needs. Two: All the scientific knowledge in the world is useless if the person retaining it is emotionally dysfunctional. Psychology both creates scientist and treats them. I refer you to Daniel Coleman's research showing that social/emotional functioning accounts for a greater proportion of individual success than does IQ and education. The nation's success will not be ensured by a narrow focus on math and engineering skills. |
| 217 | Ellen Koch, Ph.D. | The clinical and I/O programs make significant contributions both locally and nationally. The impact of this decision would be devastating. |
| 218 | Jennifer Thomas Menichello, LPC | Please reconsider! |

| 221 | Jane E. Fisher, Ph.D. | The doctoral program in Clinical Psychology at WMU addresses a critical need for clinical psychologists trained in evidence-based approaches to promoting behavioral health. The need for researchers and providers in this field is growing at both state and national levels. The Clinical Psychology Prgram at WMU has an excellent reputation nationally and is an important resource for Michigan and the field nationally. |
| 222 | Jennifer Huffman, PhD | I seriously considered attending WMU's clinical psychology program because of its merits. I think that area of the state likely benefits from the program. I think the strong emphasis in ABA training is needed in the field of psychology. |
| 223 | Gail Rice | My daughter was planning to apply to WMU Master program in I/O behavior. her choice was infuenced by her conselor at WMU. How can they just cancel the premier program of this type? She has worked so hard for 4 years with this goal in site. I am throughly disgusted with the management of WMU! This decison has grave implications to the school and the Kalmazoo area in general. |

| 228 | Terry Tempinski, Ph.D. | Please do not let this valuable program vanish. It supports mental health in southeastern Michigan and, as we all know, our mental health is not dispensible. |
| 229 | Lisa Largo-Marsh, Ph.D. | As a graduate of WMU's clinical psychology program I am deeply saddened and disturbed by this news. Psychologists have an important contribution to make and closing quality programs is a loss for all. |

| 236 | Dr. Richard Schulman | The psychology department at Western Michigan University trains its students to employ an actual science of behavior to deal with an endless host of social problems, including those encountered in clinical and industrial settings. Why would university administrators wish to cut off the hands of a department that feeds them so well? Beats me. |
| 237 | Kyleen Gray | |
| 238 | Carole Hawke | Please reconsider! |
| 239 | Christine Foley | |
| 240 | Heather Stypula | The WMU President and Provost are making a terrible mistake! Bailey does not have the students in mind when making her decisions! If its about money, tell her to give up her personal training that we pay for, her husbands driver that we pay for, her nice car that we most likely pay for, and the alcohol that she consumes at Websters that we also probably pay for! That would save enough money right there I'm sure! |
| 241 | Jennifer Bonds | Please, do not eliminate the doctorate program for clinical psychology and the master's program for industrial psychology, for this will have a negative impact to WMU, the companies and community in which the programs have been able to support. |

| 246 | Robert F. Wait, PhD | The decision process leading to the recommendation of elimination of these programs was politically biased and deeply flawed. Elimination of these programs would do great harm to graduate education at WMU, and would be a disservice to past, present and future student interests. |
| 247 | Jessica Tonkovich | This program has helped countless numbers of students and residents of this area. It would be a tragedy if it were closed for no reason or to include a program in medievil studies- that benefits who? The university has an obligation to it's community to give back, this is a horrible example for your students. |
| 248 | Frank Berardi | This program is vital to corporate America and the world in general. Please keep it, Best regards, Frank Berardi |
