As a proud alumna of Saint Louis University, Department of Communication, 2007, I am appalled by the attacks by the university on tenured faculty member, Dr. Avis Meyer.

The struggle began over the student newspaper, the University News and has escalated into a legal circus, complete with the emotional and financial drain associated with such.

I urge you to visit http://saveavis.wordpress.com to learn more about the struggles of Dr. Meyer against the university.

If at all possible, please provide your support for the cause by writing to influential members of the press and the university community to make them aware of the situation and your feelings on the matter.
