> Sunday evening (3/2/08), it was brought to the attention of the 
> Steering Committee that an application form for a "Diversity Waiver"  
> is being circulated  to various states.   (For those who aren't 
> familiar with it, "Diversity Waiver" refers to a waiver of certain 
> fees associated with the national meetings or conventions, designed to 
> increase diversity among attendees and participants).
>
> Please make your membership aware that the application and this action 
> is in no way authorized by any entity of the GPUS.  This is being done 
> without the knowledge of the Diversity Committee as a whole, or the 
> subcommittee that previously handled such applications.  At this time, 
>  there has been no decision on exactly which fees these waivers might 
> cover this year.
>
> We regret any confusion or false hopes this action may have caused, 
> and call on the individuals responsible for disseminating the false 
> application and mis-information to cease and desist.  We may further 
> pursue legal action.
>
> Please pass this along to your membership, and if you find anyone who 
> has submitted an application in hopes of a fee waiver, please let them 
> know that this was a fraudulent application.
