Defend the Centre for Studies in Social Justice



We need your support! The University of Windsor administration has determined that it will close the Centre for Studies in Social Justice this July 1st, 2013. This decision must be reversed as the Centre is a unique, vital and vibrant hub for social justice research, knowledge dissemination, exchange, and advocacy in Canada. You can learn more about the great work that has been done at the Centre by visiting their webpage:
http://www.uwindsor.ca/socialjustice

A petition has been created to stop the closure of the Centre and to send a strong message to the University president and administration that the Centre matters to the University and the community. Please consider adding your signature and sharing it with your friends and allies.
