PAA and APC contacted UNICAMP to express concern regarding a recent decision announced by the Board of Directors of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) to close its Demography department. Population scientists recognize the prestigious UNICAMP Demography department as one of the most respected and accomplished programs not only in Brazil, but also in Latin America. The caliber of the research and research training that UNICAMP faculty conduct is highly regarded.#GPAC2020#LettersandComments
