      Dear CAAH Members:

      The following resolution was adopted by the College Art Association
Board of Directors on February 23, 2003, in New York City:
        We artists, art historians, and art professionals of the Board of
Directors of the College Art Association are deeply concerned about the
threat to human life, cultural heritage, and freedom of expression in the
name of patriotism and the war on terrorism, particularly as the prospect of
war in Iraq gains momentum.

        The curtailment of civil liberties and human rights at home and
abroad has a direct impact on our members and our ability to achieve CAA's
core values and goals to create open forums that encourage international
dialogue and open exchange of different points of view.

        We are deeply concerned about the fate of that country's
archaeological sites, antiquities, and cultural property. In 1972, CAA urged
the United States to ratify the 1954 Hague Convention on the Protection of
Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, and we reaffirm that aim
today.

        In addition, current policies also have serious implications for
government funding for the arts and humanities, higher education,
philanthropy, freedom of expression, and conditions in the university,
museum, and other workplace environments of CAA members.
