Subject: Not ANOTHER Russian program shut down?!
Dear Russophile:
We have just heard that SUNY Albany has announced it is cutting its Russian and other language programs as a way to attack its budget deficit. You can read the article about the cuts here:
http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Cuts-hit-home-in-any -language-687791.php
If you agree with us that it is short-sighted to cut the funding for study of languages that our own government has defined as "critical," you can sign an online petition here. It just takes a minute, and maybe with enough support, SUNY Albany will look take another look and find a way to preserve this vital program.

Along the same lines-SUNY New Paltz has ended its intensive foreign language weekend and summer courses.
