[Ernest Scatton]

This may be of interest to some on SEELANGS. Obviously the pressures are
not limited to North America.

Subject: Not Quite Historical Linguistics - Sorry

Dear friends and colleagues,

forgive me for bothering you with a political issue, but the matter is
rather urgent: mindless budgetary measures are threatening the future
of the Austrian University System, and the humanities, including
LINGUISTICS, are put under particular pressure.

Therefore, we need all the support we can get.

So, if you have the time and the possibility, please visit the web
site

where you will find more detailed information on the crisis we are
facing and on ways in which you can show your support.

Forgive me once again for taking up your time,

and thank you in advance

Niki Ritt
