How to Voice Support for Title VI/Fulbright-Hays International Education Funding

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
 
I write about a matter of serious (and sudden) concern.  As you may have
heard, the recently passed FY 2011 federal budget includes a possible 40%,
or $50 million, cut to the Department of Education's Title VI/Fulbright-Hays
programs.  As Congress begins work on the FY 2012 budget, the future of
Fulbright-Hayes funding is in question, and so is Title VI, including the
key National Resource Center and FLAS Fellowship grants that CREES receives
(as do many other area-studies centers, at Michigan and elsewhere).  If you
wish to speak up about the value of these programs (whether through their
personal impact on your career, or their general role in furthering
scholarship, teaching, and outreach), consider visiting the URL below.

Urgent: Help Save Title VI/Fulbright-Hays International Education Programs
 
Thank you,
