In the second 24 hours, the petition calling on the University of Florida President to reconsider the decision to close the PhD program in philosophy at the University of Florida garnered just under 400 new signatures, bringing the total to well over 1,000 in just two days! I know this is a busy time for most philosophers and students, with exams and essays to grade and/or write, but please take a moment to sign if you have not done so already. The outpouring of support from those inside and outside the academy for the discipline of philosophy should encourage everyone who cares about the subject, and so please add your voice to theirs.
The Florida Department has also been reposting some of the comments from the petition, including some that appeared since my posting yesterday.
