Dear colleagues in CoHSL, The continued devaluation of the EKEBI as an institution and of its staff is a serious problem. How can we help/offer support through CoHSL (and potentially the MGSA as well)? I recall a petition circulated months ago, but do not see a place for us to show unified (or individual) support/protest, now that the issue is raised again in public. Would the CoHSL leadership wish to mount/submit a collective protest -- in the immediate future? I hope that this valuable institution will be preserved and supported in pursuing its mission. If CoHSL prepares a letter of protest, please include my signature. Thank you.
