Dear Colleague,


I invite you to sign the PSC petition to repeal
Pathways<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Tsxz3vMkKKPxy0ite3Z86w
jDYQK4eIas>. Sign by Thursday night to increase our strength for the Town
Hall Meeting. The petition calls on the CUNY Trustees to repeal the Pathways
resolution at their next meeting and replace it with a new planning process
on student transfer-a process that upholds shared governance and academic
freedom, and that produces a curriculum with academic integrity. Add your
voice by signing the petition
today<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Tb3JeiCfv1LnAQNEU7UT7gjDY
QK4eIas>.

Pathways is not inevitable. The other PSC officers and I have spent the last
three weeks visiting the different CUNY campuses, and everywhere the story
is the same: faculty are putting enormous effort into salvaging some
intellectual integrity for Pathways even though they are convinced that the
structure is wrong. There is an alternative. We do not have to be
disempowered: if we act together we have the power to demand what's right
for CUNY.

How can we create that power? The clearest way to dispel 80th Street's myth
of near-universal faculty support for Pathways is to come to the Town Hall
Meeting on Thursday
night<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=kSpxO8QifPZxMlV9GeO3FgjDY
QK4eIas> and add your name to the
petition<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vkctXstIOjl9TCLBIzEN%2
BAjDYQK4eIas>. The text of the petition draws on the scores of resolutions
against Pathways already passed; all faculty and professional staff
represented by the PSC are invited to sign

(I have been asked about petitions for students and petitions that could be
signed by scholars outside CUNY; both are possible in the future, but the
current petition is designed just for faculty and professional staff.)

Sign now, and then confirm that you will come to the Town Hall Meeting by
signing up
here<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nUnx2xRc0PHdmbClzJsWVQjDYQ
K4eIas>. We need to listen and speak to each other on Thursday night; we
need to show by our numbers how serious we are about an alternative to
Pathways<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=eiD92f%2BG1pfM9wAnZhLW
jQjDYQK4eIas>. This may be our best chance to organize on Pathways; don't
miss it:

Town Hall Meeting on Pathways
Thursday, March 8 - 6:00-8:30 pm
Community Church of New York
40 East 35th Street (Between Park and Madison Avenues) Download a
flier<http://afl.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6krD3SMyGgr3lTsVet1qHQjDY
QK4eIas>.

In solidarity,

Barbara Bowen
President, PSC
