[Bgsa] Comments for letter to Biology faculty.

[Juan Fraire-Zamora]

Hi Darren,

I am sorry for the delay, but I have finally made some comments in the
letter for our graduate adviser concerning improvements in the EEOB program.

 I strongly agree in all the points that were brought in this letter and
really believe that they will make important improvements in our development
as graduate students.

Although, I believe that the way we will present this issues to the faculty,
will dictate how much importance they will pay to our demands and
suggestions. 

I am summarizing my points here and please note the suggested changes I have
made to the letter.

 - The letter in many paragraphs seem to confront faculty rather than
acknowledging the deficiencies in the program, thus we need to be more
objective in our demands and what we propose as solutions.

- Some of the demands seem to sound to strong and be biased towards our only
benefit without really making any notice in our responsibilities.  We have
to be aware that any right that is gained comes with an increase in
responsibilities.

As I said, I agree in all the points brought up by this letter and would be
happy to see improvements made in our program.

Thanks for taking the time to write it and for summarizing our needs as
graduate students.

Cheers,

Juan.
