In case you did not receive the item, below Sandi Cooper ________________________________ From: Barbara Bowen [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 4:13 PM To: Sandi Cooper Subject: Petition to Repeal Pathways--Sign by Thursday! 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>.
