Urge WIU to Bring Back the Librarians!

November 11, 2024

Interim administrators at Western Illinois University (WIU) will eliminate ALL nine campus librarians by May 2025. Students, faculty, professional library organizations, and higher education leaders across Illinois and the nation are speaking out against this ill-conceived plan that cuts critical student supports and callously eliminates jobs.

Tell the WIU Board of Trustees and Interim President Mindrup to "Bring Back the Librarians!" by completing this petition. You will be taken to a pre-written message that you can edit. Please encourage friends and family to send this important message too.
