Dear editor,

I am submitting the following in response to the student director’s dismissal news appeared in your issue of May 4, 2023. With declining enrollments and degrading moral and ethical values applied to administering higher educational institutions nowadays, hard-working and honest employees who believe in free expression of their minds for the benefit of students sometimes pay a heavy price, but it is worth it to suffer temporarily than demean yourself by staying quiet and safe.

Best wishes to Amy while she faces new challenges in her life.

Vijendra Boken, Professor

Department of Geography, UNK
