Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 This was sent to me today. I have met Dr. Campbell and a big fan of his work. Please take the time to to sign the petition. This is happening at Cornell, and still has the hand of dairy industry pulling strings. Thanks for your support. Please distribute this to all your contacts and lists. Laura M. Get involved - Maintain Academic Freedom for Plant-Based Nutrition: Some of you may know that a course Dr. Campbell formerly taught to Cornell Undergraduates was pulled from the course catalog in 2005, without explanation or the opportunity for discussion. That course was NS200 - Vegetarian Nutrition, and had been taught by Dr. Campbell for a number of years with very good feedback from the students. The faculty member who made the decision to pull the course has strong ties to the dairy industry, and has never offered any explanation for his decision or opportunity for discussion. Dr. Campbell has tried to resolve this internally at Cornell for the last year, with little to no success. The time has come to appeal to the Cornell Administration with outside involvement. The T. Colin Campbell Foundation has created an internet petition at < _http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/academicfreedom/_ (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/academicfreedom/) > . We ask you to sign this petition and to send it to as many supporters of plant-based nutrition and academic freedom that you can think of. We cannot allow such a flagrant breach of integrity to determine what information is permitted and what is censored for students, especially at an institution such as Cornell.. **************Need a job?
