KEEP Women's Studies at Meredith College
This petition is to keep the Women's Studies major at Meredith College. It's an all women's college that's considering dropping this major it's unacceptable and we need signatures to keep Women's Studies at Meredith.
The following comes from the Women's Studies page on the Meredith website. "The Women
Studies program at Meredith College embraces Meredith's commitment to women's leadership.What are the challenges that women still face in the United States? How are women%u2019s rights respected in other parts of the world? How have contributions of women helped to create a more just, equitable and caring society? Women%u2019s Studies will encourage you to
reflect on your own life; become more critically
aware of our global society; and
develop your knowledge and skills for making personal and social changes.
The major/minor provides students with knowledge and skills which can be applied in a variety of professional fields. It can be utilized as a major, double major, or taken as courses to supplement another major."
Please reconsider your decision in the removal of the Women's Studies. Only 20% of all women's institution do not have Women's Studies. Women's Studies is a program that more and more institutions are beginning to pick up. It would not be a good image for Meredith as a business nor a learning institution for women to drop Women's Studies.
