Naman tiyolpactoqueh ni Zacatecas

[John Sullivan]

Listeros,
	We are very happy today here in Zacatecas because Delfina de la Cruz de la Cruz, one of our teacher/researchers at IDIEZ is getting tenure for the five-hour Nahuatl class she teaches at the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (tenure is normally given bit by bit at Mexican universities). She has also been given another class to teach, so she now has 10 hours. In other words, she is on her way to eventually becoming a full-time professor of Nahuatl at the UAZ. Her tenure exam was conducted entirely in Nahuatl.
	At first glance this may not seem worth mentioning. However, we need to consider that there are probably more finger on my hands than the total number of indigenous professors at Mexican universities that actually work in their respective language. So again, this a very good day.
John
