Congress Must Act to Reverse Devastating Cuts to Language Education Offices!

On Tuesday, March 11th, the US Department of Education announced that it
was laying off close to 50% of its staff. Based on documents and media
reports we have seen, it appears that the Office of English Language
Acquisition (OELA), which administers the Title III grants, has been closed
and all of its employees either fired or moved to other positions in the
Department of Education. Additionally, we understand that the International
Education and Foreign Language Studies office in the Department’s Office of
Postsecondary Education, including the Advanced Training and Research Group
and the International Studies Group, has been eliminated in the same way.
