Stop UF Layoffs

To:  President Bernie Machen

As members of the University of Florida community and/or residents of the greater Gainesville area, we wish to record our opposition to UF’s proposed staff layoffs, which would lead to the termination of over 100 current employees. These layoffs would hurt our friends, neighbors, and co-workers, their families and our community. They would also hurt the University, both by depriving the institution of the knowledge and skills that these employees possess and by shifting more work to other employees who are already overburdened. Hence, we urge the university administration to reconsider its decision to impose layoffs.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
