> Dear Colleagues,
> I appreciate very much the support via e-mail that you have given  
> for Russian at OSU.  Please keep the flood of e-mails going to  
> administrators.  The e-mails seem to be having an effect.  This is  
> what the new chair of the department (FLL) wrote to me this morning  
> regarding a meeting she called for next Monday to discuss the future  
> of Russian :
>
> This is the beginning of the discussion, I am sure we will have  
> others as well. It was pushed up because students of Russian have  
> been sending emails to the President, Provost and Dean, and they  
> would like to know FLL’s response. I need to at least inform the  
> faculty what is going on in Russian and begin the discussion.
>
> The discussion of Russian was to have taken place later in the year,  
> but was moved  up to next Monday -- due to your letters !!!!  I  
> wrote to the chair asking her to postpone the meeting by a week  
> because I will be out of town on June 22.  I will send a document to  
> the meeting next week arguing the case for Russian, and then hope to  
> attend future meetings.
>
> Thanks again !!
