Save Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto

[Natalia Pylypiuk]

Dear Colleagues,

I draw your attention to the following, rather disturbing news from  
the University of Toronto:

University of Toronto plan decimates languages, humanities programs
BY JEANNINE M. PITAS
| JULY 12, 2010

http://rabble.ca/news/2010/07/university-toronto-plan-decimates-languages-humanities-programs

I also draw your attention to the following petition protesting the  
"disestablishment" of the Centre for Comparative Literature at the
University of Toronto:
http://www.petitiononline.com/complit/petition.html

Please sign it, if you support the idea of studying literatures from a  
comparative perspective, and feel free to circulate the petition widely.

Thank you and best wishes,
