Civil Letter of Support for Dr. Tom Alter to be Reinstated at Texas State University, San Marcos

Committee to Defend Tom Alter

Dear Supporter of Dr. Tom Alter,

Tom Alter is undertaking a formal appeal of his firing from Texas State University, San Marcos. On November 10, a subcommittee of the Texas State University System Board of Regents will meet in preliminary review of his case for appeal. On Nov. 20 and 21, the full Texas State Board of Regents will meet to rule on his appeal.

We need to influence this decision and help Tom win his appeal.

As a member of civil society standing in support of Tom Alter, we ask that you sign and send this letter of support. You can personalize it if you so choose, and please make sure to sign where the [ ] brackets are located.

We ask that you send the letter immediately. We need a large-scale pressure campaign on TXST before the November 10th hearing.
