Dear BFC (cc: Mary Beth Myers), 

 Here is the resolution that we passed this afternoon.   If you know
of any names to insert, please let someone know (me, I guess
erasmuse@indiana.edu --I'll
figure out who, and forward the names to them). We'll get student
names from the Registrar  and add them, unless there are legal
disclosure problems.

Yours truly, 
 Eric Rasmusen    




 Passed at the April 15 meeting as below (which includes a couple of
friendly amendments not in the original resolution).
 
 
  RESOLUTION ON THE WAR IN IRAQ 

 "As in any democracy, a wide diversity of opinion exists among the
faculty of Indiana University, Bloomington, concerning the War in
Iraq.

 		However, we wish warmly to extend our sympathy and
support to those men and women whose lives are caught up in this
conflict:

 		First, the members of the IUB community--- students,
staff, and alumni---currently serving in Iraq.  We know this group
includes  xxx, yyy, and zzz, as well as others.   We commend their
devotion to duty, grieve for their losses and those of their families,
applaud their attempts to limit injury to innocent Iraqi civilians,
and wish them a safe return to their country.

 		Second, our thoughts go out to those thousands of
innocents in Iraq--men, women, and (above all) children--whose lives,
homes, and families have been lost in or damaged by this war.  We hope
humanitarian aid may be speedily and generously delivered for their
assistance, and wish all luck to those members of the extended IU
community who are involved in that effort.

 		Third, we think also of the Arab and Iraqi students on
this campus and on campuses across America, and of Arab- and Iraqi-
American citizens of all kinds, for whom the conditions and
precautions of war have created distress. We hope that  our  country
will  maintain its tradition of tolerance and respect for all."



 
  xxx, yyy, and zzz are names that would be inserted by the registrar,
subject to the university counsel approving the release of that
information.   It would also include   any   staff members we can find
out about quickly (e.g., Errol Huffman).  If we can't get specific
names,   this sentence would be dropped.

Mary Beth Myers, Associate Registrar,  will see if she can get us
student names, and maybe a few staff ones.
