INTERNATIONAL PETITION TO SUPPORT THE UNIVERSIDADE DO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO. SIGN AND SHARE! Send your name ans institution to save.uerj@gmail.com. The Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), founded in 1950, is one of the most important public academic institutions for higher education and research in Brasil. The current bankruptcy of the State of Rio de Janeiro is now threatening the university with closure. In 2016 the UERJ obtained less than two thirds of its usual budget, and is now unable to pay staff wages and student grants or to ensure minimal maintenance on campus. The start of the next term has been postponed indefinitely. We the undersigned, academics and researchers from all over the world, wish to express our deepest concern for the future of the UERJ, show solidarity for all the students and staff and draw the attention of Brazilian authorities to the scientific, social and cultural disaster that would result from the destruction or weakening of the UERJ. La Universidad del Estado de Rio de Janeiro, fundada en 1950, es una de las principales instituciones públicas y gratuitas de investigación y de formación de Brasil. Se encuentra, actualmente, en peligro de cierre a causa de la bancarrota del estado de Rio de Janeiro, del que depende. En 2016, la Uerj recibió menos de dos tercios de su presupuesto y ya no está en condiciones de pagar a sus trabajadores, de abonar las becas a 9.000 alumnos humildes ni de garantizar una manutención mínima de sus campus. La vuelta a clase en 2017 ha sido aplazada sin estar prevista una fecha de inicio concreta. Nosotros, universitarios e investigadores extranjeros, manifestamos nuestra preocupación sobre el futuro de la Uerj, y manifestamos nuestra solidaridad con sus estudiantes y con sus trabajadores. Alertamos a las autoridades brasileñas sobre el desastre científico, social y cultural que significaría el cierre o el debilitamiento de la Uerj. L’Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), fondée en 1950, est une des principales institutions, publique et gratuite, de recherche et de formation du Brésil. Elle est actuellement menacée de fermeture en raison de la faillite de l’État de Rio de Janeiro dont elle dépend. En 2016, l’UERJ a reçu moins des deux tiers de son budget et n’est plus en mesure de payer ses fonctionnaires ni de verser des bourses à 9 000 étudiants modestes ni d’assurer une maintenance minimale sur son campus. La rentrée 2017 est repoussée sine die. Nous, universitaires et chercheurs étrangers, exprimons notre inquiétude sur l’avenir de l’UERJ et témoignons notre solidarité à ses étudiants et à l’ensemble de ses personnels. Nous attirons l’attention des autorités brésiliennes sur le désastre scientifique, social et culturel que constituerait la disparition ou l’affaiblissement de l’UERJ. L’Università statale di Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), fondata nel 1950, è una delle principali istituzioni, pubbliche e gratuite, di ricerca e di formazione del Brasile. Al momento rischia la chiusura a causa del fallimento dello Stato di Rio de Janeiro da cui essa dipende. Nel 2016 l’UERJ ha ricevuto meno di due terzi del suo badget e non è più in condizione di pagare i suoi impiegati, di assegnare borse ai 9000 studenti bisognosi o di assicurare una manutenzione minima nel suo campus. La riapertura del 2017 è rinviata a data da destinarsi. Noi, universitari e ricercatori stranieri, manifestiamo la nostra preoccupazione per il futuro dell’ UERJ ed esprimiamo la nostra solidarietà nei confronti dei suoi studenti e di tutto il suo personale. Noi richiamiamo l’attenzione delle autorità brasiliane sul disastro scientifico, sociale e culturale che potrebbe rappresentare la scomparsa o l’indebolimento dell’UERJ. __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Denilson Lopes" <noslined@bighost.com.br> ------------------------------ Reply via web post <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/COMPOS/conversations/messages/25917;_ylc=X3oDMTJxYnE4cDg0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE5NDY2OTgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDA3NzA5BG1zZ0lkAzI1OTE3BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTQ4NTk0Mzg4Ng--?act=reply&messageNum=25917> • Reply to sender <noslined@bighost.com.br?subject=Re%3A%20PETI%C7%C3O%20INTERNACIONAL%20DE%20APOIO%20%C0%20UERJ%20EM%205%20IDIOMAS> • Reply to group <COMPOS@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20PETI%C7%C3O%20INTERNACIONAL%20DE%20APOIO%20%C0%20UERJ%20EM%205%20IDIOMAS> • Start a New Topic <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/COMPOS/conversations/newtopic;_ylc=X3oDMTJlYzQyMGRhBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE5NDY2OTgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDA3NzA5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTQ4NTk0Mzg4Ng--> • Messages in this topic <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/COMPOS/conversations/topics/25917;_ylc=X3oDMTM2cGZqajNwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE5NDY2OTgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDA3NzA5BG1zZ0lkAzI1OTE3BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTQ4NTk0Mzg4NgR0cGNJZAMyNTkxNw--> (1) ------------------------------ Have you tried the highest rated email app? <https://yho.com/1wwmgg> With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market.
