>
>-Does your institution support email in foreign languages?
NO


>

I WOULD GUESS THEY DO, AND THAT SUPPORT WOULD BE PROVIDED
ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS BY WHOEVER THE SUPPORT IS FOR THEIR
GIVEN SCHOOL (IE ENGINEERING, HUMANITIES, ETC.)


>
>-Do faculty have adequate access to international resources in
>support of their research where technology is needed to access them?
HMMMM....I NEED TO GET MORE INFO FROM YOU ON THIS QUESTION.

SOME. WP AND INTERNET ACCESS IN ALMOST ALL THE LANGUAGES
TAUGHT. INTERNATIONAL TV PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN AVAILABLE
IN THE PAST WITH LITTLE UTILIZATION. WILL BE ADDED IN NEXT
FEW MONTHS AGAIN IN RESPONSE TO DEPARTMENTAL REQUEST.
NON-PROGRAM REQUESTED SOFTWARE FOR VARIOUS LANGUAGES.

>-In what ways has technology been used in in general in your
>institution to create and foster an international environment within your
>institution?
TECHNOLOGY ISN'T USED MUCH FOR THIS PURPOSE. LOTS OF OTHER
ACTIVITIES TARGETTED TOWARDS THIS END, PARTICULARLY OUT OF
STUDENT SERVICES, THE CROSS CULTURAL CENTER, AND THE OFFICE
OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND DIVERSITY.
