<p>In <strong>the fall of 2015</strong> the University of Wyoming reevaluated the <strong>University Studies Program (USP) and removed the Diversity (D) and Global Awareness (G) from the required curriculum</strong>. This change was made without sufficient representation of diversity on the committee or approval from the Associated Students of UW (ASUW). Not only does this change <strong>cause an unsafe and unwelcoming campus climate,</strong> but it also hinders students from being able to adequately “serve the people in our communities, our state, the nation, and the world”* or be exposed to “the complexities of an interdependent world”*! Without the proper education in the areas of diversity and global awareness, <strong>the students of UW will not be adequately prepared to be successful in a diverse workforce and world.</strong></p><p>*Statements taken from the University of Wyoming’s Mission Statement.</p><p> </p><p>We, the undersigned, concerned students at the University of Wyoming support that all students must take a minimum of 6 Diversity and Global Awareness credits before graduating from the University of Wyoming. </p><p><strong>**By signing below you are knowingly and willingly signing the Diversity and Global Awareness Requirement Petition </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Location please input the college that you are currently in.
