 Petition to Save the Classics (5/9/2012) 
   
The University of Pittsburgh Administration has proposed cancelling graduate admissions in Pitt’s Classics program. This would not only affect the Classics Department in a detrimental way, but would also damage the interdisciplinary Program in Classics, Philosophy, and Ancient Science and weaken the History and Philosophy of Science program. Please see the petition below and consider whether you wish to sign.
