To the Emory Community:

The Emory Journalism faculty fully supports the positions laid out in today’s letter from the Emory chapter of the American Association of University Professors. We continue to have strong objections to the decisions announced by Dean Forman on Sept. 14, and the secretive and non-collaborative manner in which they were reached.

The AAUP letter accurately reflects our thinking on matters of both process and substance. We wholeheartedly endorse the AAUP’s call for a full, formal and prompt review of the decisions and the process behind them.

The Emory Journalism Faculty

Hank Klibanoff, director and James M. Cox Jr., professor of journalism

Sheila Tefft, senior lecturer

Sissel McCarthy, lecturer

The Emory Wheel was founded in 1919 and is currently the only independent, student-run newspaper of Emory University. The Wheel publishes weekly on Wednesdays during the academic year, except during University holidays and scheduled publication intermissions.

The Wheel is financially and editorially independent from the University. All of its content is generated by the Wheel’s more than 100 student staff members and contributing writers, and its printing costs are covered by profits from self-generated advertising sales.
