Subject: Frisian at the university of Amsterdam

Dear colleague,

The Dean of the Faculty of Humanities of the Universiteit van Amsterdam
proposes to close down the study programme in Frisian. The Dean wants to
'exchange' Frisian against Modern-Greek at the State University of
Groningen. If these plans are implemented, it means that one can study the
Frisian language at university level in only one place in the Netherlands.

    When you agree with us that this is an ill-fated plan that has to be
removed as quickly as possible, please send a letter or an email to the
Board of
the Universiteit van Amsterdam
<mailto:mstorm at bdu.uva.nl>mstorm at bdu.uva.nl> as well as to the Dean
of the Facultyof Humanities
<mailto:bestuur.decaan.gw at hum.uva.nl>bestuur.decaan.gw at hum.uva.nl>.
When you want to know more, please contact us. (Please also send a copy of
your reaction to one of us).
We want to thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,
Prof dr Ph.H.Breuker
Prof dr D. Gorter
