This petition is now closed.
This petition is your chance to show support for Barrytown College and UTS.
The UTS board meeting to decide the response to this resolution will be this Wednesday evening, on whether to cut all funding, close the school, and remove Dr. Panzer as President immediately, or by May 2015. Your voice is needed.
Please sign this petition if you agree with the following statements.
Barrytown College of UTS, Unification Theological Seminary, and the surrounding property are valuable because:
it was founded on the vision of True Father, and has special meaning to True Parents and our members.
hundreds, if not thousands, of members have poured their continued support and investment, both spiritual and financial, into this institution.
the vision and intent of this college is one of the answers as to how we can support second generation, and how we can effectively guide and educate them.
at this time, many of our second generation are leaving the church, and one of the best ways to give them moral support is to impart the teachings of our tradition through educational institutions like this.
a truly Unificationist college is very useful to the church, and well worth the financial investment.
the continuation of this college is important for the future of our church.
Additionally, do you agree with the following statements:
For us to work together on this issue, it would be mutually beneficial if there were more transparency about why the HSA is proposing to close the college. On the whole, there needs to be more communication and cooperation.
It would benefit the HSA if they gathered more information from Barrytown College first before making this important decision, such as personally meeting the students to hear their stories.
It would be more constructive if the HSA were to work with UTS, instead of against it, to smooth out the problems that we need to work on.
