Letters can also be sent to the University President:

President David Naylor

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Feel free to also send emails to the following addresses:

Dean Meric Gertler: meric.gertler@utoronto.ca
President David Naylor: david.naylor@utoronto.ca or president@utoronto.ca
Provost Cheryl Misak: cheryl.misak@utoronto.ca

We have constructed a form letter for students to use when sending letters, or simply to use as a guideline. You can see it, as well as our suggestions for what to include in your own letters, here.

Please let the administration at U of T know how this decision will affect you and why you oppose it! It is critical that students let their voices be heard. The Dean and his associates currently claim that this change will have no affect on the EAS program at U of T. Please let them know how wrong they are!
