Fidelman" <[log in to unmask]> Dear LLTI colleagues, I thought you should all know that Regis College (Weston, MA) as of last Tuesday no longer has a Language Learning Center. Understand that it was not really a specific target. I think I did my best to make it a quality environment for language learners and my fellow NERALLDers who came to visit last year will attest. No, this was part of a massive layoff due to the College's financial woes. The degradation has been lurking in the background just waiting to happen due to fiscal mishandling going back to 1996. The Language Dept. saw this coming as of last spring when a significant curricular change was instituted that included e.g. elimination of the language requirement. So, as with the LLC, there is no longer a Language Department (only Spanish will be taught after this semester). In addition, other departments such as Math, Chemistry, Economics, and Art were eliminated. As you can see, this was a really serious move by the higher ups in their attempt to "save" the college. We'll see how it works out in the long run. Meanwhile, maybe I'll go back to working on my newsletter. I'm working on staying in the language biz. Let me know if you hear of anything. I'll be at CALICO UC Davis in March, so I hope to see all of you there. Regards to all, Carolyn Fidelman (former) Coordinator, Language Learning Center Regis College (still) **************************************** Carolyn G.
