I was asked to share this letter which requests the USG presidents to support the student community and human rights in Iran.
Please, share with any student, faculty, staff, or alumni from a Georgia university that you know. We need lots of names to be effective. Several other state university systems have issued statements and we need Georgia to join them too.
