[Fwd: Don't Miss Nancy Zimpher at Crain's Breakfast Forum]

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

The item below may be of interest. Recently, the State University of New
York-Albany administration took an axe to several of its programs,
including the elimination of French, Russian, and some others.

Personally, I think that eliminating college team sports such as
basketball and football are more suitable candidates for balancing
SUNY-Albany's and other university budgets (unless, the NBA and NFL
contributes directly for SUNY-Albany effectively running training programs
for these professional organizations).

Until this latest financial realignment is completed, there are going to
be competing interests seeking to preserve their respective franchises
within state budgets, and liberal arts programs are going to be under
siege. I personally would rather see language programs survive in this
period.

Perhaps this event could serve as a basis for mobilizing.

I'm considering attending ...

fyi,

MP
