Follow up on IREX Question

[Mirna Solic]

Dear Tony,

I don't think that Slavic studies are the only field facing such fundamental
changes in financing research and study abroad. I think that the overall
situation with the humanities in the North America is alarming - Middle
Eastern Studies Association (MESA) for example had problems in organization of
the annual conference in San Francisco, because many colleagues were black-
listed as the result of change of the US official policy and response to
September 11th, and many of international members had huge problems in
obtaining US visa to come for the meeting.

So what is to be done?
