This is a petition in support of the reinstatement process of Marc Marenco as a Professor at Pacific University. Those who sign this petition also believe the following things:
1) Marc Marenco is valuable, quality teacher at Pacific University whose teaching I can attest to from direct experience.
2) I do not agree with the termination of Marc Marenco as a Professor at Pacific University on the grounds that he is not fulfilling his teaching duties in a quality manner.
3) Marc Marenco should have the chance to review the grounds of his termination again through the faculty appeals process at Pacific University.

The administration has now acknowledged our petition volume and confirmed they will receive our formal documentation later this week. I am currently finalizing the appeal packet to ensure our arguments are ready for the faculty review process.

I had Professor Marc Marenco my freshmen year FYS. He really helped me develop college level skills to improve my academic standing. He is honest and great Professor! I would be upset for Pacific to release him.
Professor Marenco is one of the most wonderful professors I’ve known throughout my time at Pacific. He takes the time to really listen to students, while providing a space for them to learn and thrive. In my Bioethics class, we have tackled some of life’s most difficult topics in a constructive, analytical, and respectful manner. He gave us the tools to know how to do that and guided us through it. He truly cares about his students, not only in their academic pursuits, but as people. Overall, a brilliant, warm, and committed professor who wants to see his students succeed.
I believe that Pacific University has made a mistake in their decision to fire Marc Marenco, a "tenner," or someone who has been working at an institution for more than ten years. His intelligence in his profession of philosophy shined equally as bright as his ability and will to teach students in a unique and thorough manner. The passion in the way he spoke made it clear that he cared about his work, his students, and the world in general. His appreciation for the subjects that he taught made it easy for students to connect with and feel empathy or concern for our society today. He made our Civic Engagement course so much more than it could have been, and having found out that he knew he was going to get fired and didn't give up on his students and Pacific, just goes to show what a caring, wise, and compassionate person Professor Marenco truly is. I look up to him as a person and think that he would be very much missed here at Pacific.
Professor Marenco is one of the most passionate and caring professor I ever had. He truly cares about his students' success and wants the best for them. Please do not let him go.
Professor Marenco is one of the best professors I have ever had. He truly cares about his students educations, and to lose a professor like him would be a tremendous loss.

Prof. Marenco was one of the best instructors I had at Pacific. He made it possible to look at tough subjects in a deeper more rounded way than we had before. He asked us to ask the hard questions. I can not imagine Pacific without him there!
