MEMORANDUM

TO: The Campus Community

FROM: Chancellor Howard Cohen, Vice Chancellors Leo Bryant

Mike Gealt, Gary Newsom, Dolores Steuer‑Wagner

With our nation at war, we are reminded again of the important role colleges and universities play as beacons of knowledge, understanding and expertise. We at Purdue University Calumet encourage dialogue and expression of views in a collegial fashion.

Peaceful expressions and activities relative to the state of our nation’s current involvement in Iraq may occur at designated campus locations within the parameters of university policies and normal operating procedures.

Should recognized student groups/organizations desire to hold organized activities of expression, they are reminded to work through the Center for Career & Leadership Development (ext. 2419/SFLC 349). Similarly, faculty and staff should make appropriate arrangements with the Office of Scheduling (ext. 2133).

During this sensitive and historic time in our nation’s history, we look forward to our campus responding thoughtfully and responsibly to the activity and decisions of our nation, its leaders and the international community.
