Russian Program to be eliminated

[Klawa Thresher]

Dear Colleagues,

I am trying to gather some information that might help save our Russian
program, which our new president has said will be cut because he feels
that Russian is no longer relevant.  If you know of any Russian programs
that were threatened with closing but were saved and are still
flourishing (and that could be a relative term), I would very much
appreciate getting information about them.

I know that this happened at Ohio State, the University of Pittsburg and
Macalaster College. Since I do not know the details, if colleagues at
those institutions could give me some information (especially
statistics) I would be very grateful.

I would appreciate getting this information as soon as possible, as I
will be having a hearing on this on Friday (yes, Good Friday!)

You can send this to me at kthresher at randolphcollege.edu

Thank you in advance,
Klawa Thresher
