OF AEJMC [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jennifer Woodard [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 8:46 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: AEJMC: Obama's Promised "Change" Lacks Transparency I agree with Ken Campbell that the resolution should come from CSM with support of MAC. So, I defer to the leadership of CSM on this matter. Many of our MAC members are also members of CSM -- but to those who are not, please consider joining as CSM is responsible for monitoring and responding to AEJMC in matters of concern to racial minorities. Dr. Brooks has agreed to work with CSM and take the lead in drafting the resolution. At the CSM and MAC membership meetings, or perhaps before we will have an opportunity to look at the draft and move forward with this. I also agree with Brad Gorham that we must acknowledge that we, as members of AEJMC, granted President Pardon the right to speak for us in such matters, but in an objective and rational manner, we must correct the incorrect message that she set forth to the public with our resolution. Dr. Brooks, let us know how we may assist you. Thank you, Jennifer Woodard Minorities and Communication, Head
