Letters of support

[amarilis]

Deer SEELANGers,

Yet another request for a letter of support. Howard University is 
currently threatening to close down the Russian and German language 
majors. Russian is currently run by one non-tenure track lecturer -- me. 
Since I have been allowed to work full time on Russian, however, we have 
finally started to have majors filing for Russian -- three this year 
alone-- a great improvement seeing how we had none for I do not know how 
long.

Howard is  Historically Black University located in Washington DC. The 
population it serves is so underrepresented in a field that is not so 
common to start with would make you think that alone would merit having 
the program, wouldn't you?

Anyways, anyone who could send a letter of support with copies to the 
following would be appreciated:

PCAR.Comments at gmail.com <mailto:PCAR.Comments at gmail.com> Presidential 
Commission on Academic Renewal
vwhite-jackson at howard.edu Vernessa White Jackson, coordinator, German 
and Russian
jdavis at howard.edu James Davis, Ph. D., Chair, department of World 
Languages and Cultures
athornton at howard.edu Associate Provost, chair, PCAR

Thanks
Amarilis Lugo de Fabritz
Lecturer, Howard University
