An unhappy rumor about Russian's critical language status: anyone out there know anything?

Dear all,

I just heard an unhappy rumor that Russian may be stripped of its critical language status. (My source is a student who had an internship in Moscow through the State Dept this summer.)

I am hoping that it is groundless, but wondered whether anyone out there had any information?

Troubled,

Nicole
