Resolution of the Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature

The Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature calls upon the upper administration of UWM to conduct immediately a budgetary planning process that acknowledges and repairs the imbalance in budget allocations that has endangered the core academic and research missions of the University. This process needs to be open, inclusive, and faculty- centered.

Based on the statement circulated by the College of Letters & Science Chairs and Directors.

Approved unanimously by the Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature on May 8, 2015.
