Iowa Herbarium
Reposting as a courtesy
PvR The University of Iowa Herbarium is one of the collections that presently is threatened with closure. An update on the situation here will be posted subsequently, but the Friends of the University of Iowa Herbarium has an immediate request. We solicit your support of our efforts to keep the Herbarium at the University of Iowa. Even if you have already written a letter, please take a few moments to sign our new online petition and forward the URL to anyone you think might be willing to sign. We are circulating this nationally and internationally in the taxonomic and collections communities in the hopes of generating a massive response that we could use to pressure university administrators who seem determined to proceed with a needless and senseless plan to divest the collection. http://www.PetitionOnline.com/herbarui/petition.html Our immediate plan is to publish a full-page advertisement in the university newspaper, including names, city, state/province and country of those who sign the petition before Thursday, December 11. Our long-term plan is to run the petition until July 2004. Thank you for your support! Diana Horton Director and Curator, University of Iowa Herbarium Executive Committee, Friends of the University of Iowa Herbarium 312 CB University of Iowa Iowa City, IA 52242-1297 U.S.A. |
