Whereas Glassboro police officer Peter Amico, shot and killed 14-year old Eltarmine Sanders in front of his mother on Poplar street in Glassboro on April 17 , 1994, and

Whereas Peter Amico said that he was "proud' to accept a racist Combat Cross Award given by Gloucester County police organizations for killing Eltarmine Sanders, and 

Whereas Rowan University's hiring of Peter Amico to direct its Office of Emergency Management was a revolting insult to the Sanders family and to African Americans everywhere, and

Whereas, "Protection of Human Life" is the first priority of Rowan's Office of Emergency Management, Peter Amico's continued presence as the person in charge says loudly that "Black Lives Don't Matter" at Rowan University,

We the undersigned citizens of New Jersey and elsewhere, demand that Dr. Ali Houshmand, Rowan University president and Mr. Chad Bruner, chair Rowan Board of Trustees take the necessary steps to immediately terminate Peter Amico's contract and thereby demonstrate their belief that, going forward, "Black Lives Will Matter" at Rowan University.
