Dear Friend,

I wanted to take a second to update you on a story we first told you
about a few weeks back. If you remember, Lucy Marsh is the University
of Denver law professor who discovered that female full law professors
at DU earn on average nearly $16,000 less than their male
counterparts. And when she asked the Dean of the law school, Martin
Katz, what he planned to do about this pay disparity, he replied,
"Nothing."

And nothing is what has been heard from the school since Lucy Marsh
filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A
couple weeks ago, I helped create a petition asking people to stand
with Lucy Marsh and support her in her fight for pay equity at the
University of Denver School of Law.  Well over a thousand people
have already signed on.

Yet the University of Denver has continued to do "nothing."  So
we must continue to push them to do something.  

Here is what I am asking: please, sign the petition in support of Lucy
Marsh. Then forward to your friends and former college classmates and
ask them to sign on as well. Wage discrimination is a numbers game and
we need numbers to fight back.

Next week I plan to join a group of University of Denver students and
alumni to deliver a letter to Chancellor of the University of Denver,
Dr. Robert Coombe, asking for the school to do what is right and
respond with a plan of action to end the systemic pay disparity at
their school of law.  Please sign on to the petition I plan to
hand to him next week. Let's all join together and show the
University of Denver that this type of discrimination is not something
we'll stand by and let "nothing" be done to fix.

Thank you,
Ashley Wheeland
