Support the Women's Research Institute

Here is the text from the flyer so that it is more easily searchable to the world-wide web.

WHY IS WOMEN'S RESEARCH IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE?
Women everywhere have a great capacity for service in their homes, families and communities.
Women have been under studied and underestimated throughout centuries.
Studying women can bring education, understanding, cross-cultural connection and peace.

WHAT IS BYU'S WOMEN'S RESEARCH INSTITUTE?
Originally instituted by President Dallin H. Oaks in 1978.
Provides an interdisciplinary scholastic community for over 80 BYU affiliates studying women and gender.
Facilitated the publication on hundreds of articles and books by projects such as the Mormon Women's History Project, the WomanStats Project — now used by the UN, and the Peace and Violence in the Home Project.

HOW WILL CLOSING THE WRI AFFECT WOMEN'S RESEARCH AT BYU?
We will lose the only university research center that studies women and gender through a Gospel lens.
Separating teaching faculty from research faculty will deprive students of the opportunity to work with teams of faculty engaged in serious academic discourse on the study of women.
There are questions about the final allocation of the WRI Endowment Fund.
No US university has closed their women's research center over the past 20 years­—which may cause people to wonder and damage the reputation of BYU and the Church as a friend to women and their concerns.
