update on Russian major at the University of Alabama

[Andrew M. Drozd]

Dear SEELangers:
    I apologize for taking so long to provide an update on the situation
here. I wanted to wait until everything was resolved so as not to
inflict too many messages on the list-members.
    I could go into excruciating detail, but the upshot is that the
Russian major at the University of Alabama is now a thing of the past.
The administration has decided to put it on "inactive status."  There
will continue to be a minor in Russian. For the foreseeable future,
there will be only one faculty member to support it.
    Many list-members responded to my call for letters to the UA
administration last spring. Likewise, many people wrote to me off-list
to express their moral support and to offer advice. I want to thank
everyone who did so.

Sincerely,

--
