Dear President Schill,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, and diversity. In these subjects or core values I like to learn the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have education reform to improve learning, a need for diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, and many others.  President Schill, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 18^th President of University of Oregon and some of your work on law to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 18^th President of University of Oregon,, I like on how you are a strong supporter and advocate of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination in order to protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities.  Supporting accommodations to help students with disabilities like extra time on exams or use educational software to help improve comprehension, expanding tutoring services to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors,  implementing more liberal arts, arts, humanities, history, and basic classes to make education diverse along with make more opportunities for students to find subjects that they want to learn are great ways to improve education reform.  On diversity, I like on how you work on hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the college and expand on programs to help educate staff members and students about different cultures along with the need for diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background. Another thing that I like about your work as President of University of Oregon is how you expand on more research programs to help students get engage to learn how different topics can make a great difference for society, push for more scholarships to help low income students or minorities get assistance on getting into college or affording supplies, and heavily express the need to reduce high tuition cost to help students from paying high costs in order to get a college.  Besides your work as President of University of Oregon, I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights causes, advocate for environmental protection to reduce pollution, emphasize the need for more liberal arts in colleges, and express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants, dreamers, and refugees from being oppressed. Also I like on how you use your experience in your knowledge of law to help advocate for the need for criminal justice reform like drug treatment programs to help drug users get the care they need and have more funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail. Also on your knowledge on law I like some of your advocacy about protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people from unreasonable searches.

President Schill, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Also I enjoy reading some of your articles about the need for criminal justice reform,  better protection on civil liberties to help protect people from losing their fundamental rights, and the need for improvements in social justice to make communities safe. Your role as 18^th President of University of Oregon, gives me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, and diversity. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger, have education reform to improve learning, protect the environment from pollution, expand on social justice to make communities safe, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society including education reform. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights causes, push for education reform, expand on diversity, advocate for social justice including criminal justice reform, and many others.  You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work, and be motivated to continue to learn history, social justice, and diversity.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to work hard to make a great difference.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
