Russian cut at Emory

[Anne L Lounsbery]

According to this press release (which reads like a Delillo novel), it's
all about TURNING EXCELLENCE INTO EMINENCE and INVESTING IN IMPORTANT NEW
AND EMERGING GROWTH AREAS:

http://news.emory.edu/stories/2012/09/EmoryCollegePlan/campus.html

"Beginning this academic year, Emory College of Arts and Sciences will
begin implementation of a multi-year plan designed to enhance areas of
distinction, transform areas of excellence into areas of eminence, and
allocate resources to invest in important new and emerging growth areas."
