University of Otago / Russian Program

[Jessica Natale]

I would like everyone to know, that I am being bullied and harrassed for
writing a letter of conscience and support for the Russian faculty of the
University of Otago, who are being dismissed. I wrote an email stating that
Russian is important and an asset to a diverse education. I have received
terrible, rude and horrifying email, disparaging me for my support and belief
that Russian is 1 Worthwile, 2 In demand. I do not feel obliged to justify
myself any further in this belief.

I am very hurt and disillusioned by all of this. What is SEELANGS for? I
thought it was an open forum for discussion considering language and other
related areas of study. I was mistaken and will unsuscribe myself forthwith.
