Department Faculty address West Virginia University’s elimination of World Languages and Linguistics program
9月22日星期五,威廉玛丽学院现代语言文学系发表了一份声明,反对西弗吉尼亚大学最近决定停止其世界语言、文学和语言学项目。
Following final approval by WVU’s board of governors on Sept. 15, WVU terminated its majors in Chinese Studies, French, German Studies, Russian Studies and Spanish. Additionally, Masters programs in Linguistics and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) were cut. According to the recommendations, these decisions were primarily motivated by cost-saving measures based on low student enrollment.
