Gregory,

The fact that the OT department and its students will be meeting with the
Provost on Tuesday regarding out potential termination in the face of the
university's current budget crisis makes this topic timely to say the least.
I regret we will not have representation at the meeting because of this
schedule conflict; but I wish all who attend a meaningful experience and a
productive dialogue.

Kudos to the organizers of such an event,
Amy McBride-Conner, Occupational Therapy
