<div class="PlainText">> Thank you, Eric, and dear colleagues, for all you are and do.
<br>
<br>
Briefly, I suggest that the stirring last paragraph stating our historic governance responsibility for the learning programs be stated first. Then, we could say in the second paragraph, modifying a bit what you have started with,<br>
<br>
In light of this responsibility, we, the members of the University of Oregon Senate, must take issue with the wrongs to our learning system proposed….<br>
<br>
The wrongs are not only what are proposed, incalculable threats to our learning mission, but how they are proposed. In a University that prides itself on collaborative governance, there has not been a transparent process to determine what cuts actually need
to be made, and how they would be made. <br>
<br>
Then your letter as follows. <br>
<br>
I also reflect with you that the amount to be cut is in fact what was donated to programs in Global Studies. Might we go back to the donor and ask that the global spirit of the donation be expanded to its actual letter to apply to other programs as well? Our
learning eco system requires programs of every size and kind. We cannot be global unless all the various snd emergent and historic programs are in place.
<br>
<br>
The draconian proposals slash verities of thousands of years of accrued knowledge and fought for principles governing higher education. I cannot believe that our UO leadership would want its legacy to be other than preserver of known strategies of excellence.
We are on the threshold of exciting growth, and need all of us, all our ways of thinking and construing the world of ours.
<br>
<br>
Thank you everyone, and blessings,<br>
Barbara <br>
