When: Now!

What: Call Chancellor Fox and demand due process for Dr. Helen @ 858-534-3135

Why: Stop Dr. Helen’s deportation – give Dr. Helen a chance to appeal her termination!

* Dr. Wilda Helen is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Bioengineering @UC San Diego. Dr. Helen was fired on January 6, 2011 based on false allegations.

* Dr. Helen is appealing her termination under the fair grievance procedure in the union contract. However,

* UCSD is trying to force Dr. Helen to leave the country this Saturday, February 5 – before she can appeal her termination. University administrators have terminated Dr. Helen’s record in the federal SEVIS registry (student and exchange visitor information system). As such, Dr. Helen cannot legally remain in the United States beyond Saturday, February 5.

* Chancellor Fox can solve this problem: the University has the ability to fix this problem – they can restore Dr. Helen’s record in the SEVIS system and give Dr. Helen a fair chance to appeal her termination.

Call Chancellor Fox now @ 858-534-3135 and demand:
