Tonight, Deborah Bial, the President and Founder of The Posse Foundation, sent the following message regarding THE General Body’s protest to Syracuse University’s 92 Posse Scholars:

November 12, 2014
Dear Posse Scholars,
I have heard about what’s happening on campus and wanted to write to you all. (I am copying Chancellor Syverud on this email as well.)
I know you have spoken with Chancellor Syverud about the changes to the Posse program. I am really proud of how you have made your voices heard and shown how much Posse means to you.
I wanted to make sure that I reached out to you all directly so that you know we are working closely with Syracuse on all of this.
I can tell you with full confidence that Chancellor Syverud and his administration are committed to Posse. I met Chancellor Syverud for the first time in October. He came to visit the Posse office in New York. We had a good meeting and I know he wants the Posse program to continue to be strong at Syracuse.
I think you have heard that I am going to come visit you at Syracuse on December 9th. I will meet again with the Chancellor and the administration and of course all of you.
For now the best suggestion I have is for you to get back to classes. I hope that you trust that Chancellor Syverud and I will find the right balance for both Posse and Syracuse moving forward. I know you will continue to be engaged on campus and contribute to an open and productive dialogue.
Debbie
