University of Utah Shifts Focus to Tribal Languages, Some Fear World<br>

Indigenous Languages Will Be Left Behind<br>

<br>

By ICTMN Staff October 3, 2012<br>

USA<br>

<br>

At the end of August, the University of Utah announced that the Center<br>

for American Indian Languages (CAIL) would be dissolved into the<br>

American West Center (AWC) and that CAIL’s Native American language<br>

training and study programs would be moving to the Language Center in<br>

the College of Humanities.<br>

<br>

“This restructuring will allow us to focus more effectively on our<br>

unwavering commitment to the Utah tribes, eliminating duplication<br>

while enhancing our current projects and developing new ones,” said<br>

Robert Newman, Dean of the College of Humanities, in a university<br>

release. “Merging existent programs from within CAIL combined with the<br>

solid leadership we have in the American West and Language Centers is<br>

clearly the most efficient way to accomplish these goals.”<br>

<br>

Not everyone sees this as a positive step though, including Jeff<br>

Pynes, a Ph.D. student whose work focuses on the Tolupan of Central<br>

America, and Ives Goddard, a senior linguist with the Smithsonian<br>

Institution.<br>
