Dear Readers—
As many of you know, Johns Hopkins University has recently threatened to close its acclaimed Humanities Center. A thorough account of the threat (including a play-by-play, possible rationales, and the resultant outcry) can be found [here]. (Kudos to Colleen Flaherty for her exhaustive reporting.)
Should you wish to join in protesting the closure, there is a petition circulating on Change.org which you can access [here]. Of course you may also contact JHU President, Ronald J. Daniels, or JHU Krieger School of Arts & Sciences Dean, Beverly Wendland, directly. Their addresses, emails, and phone numbers are available at jhu.edu.
All best—
CL
