Hi, please excuse the possible cross posting. As many states Florida has experienced financial short cuts, and one of the solutions is to cut spending on university programs. In response the administration at Florida State University has published a list of programs to be cut, and it includes German and Slavic. If you feel that such cuts are also a threat to the work and mission of CALICO, please read and hopefully sign these petitions: German: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/33/protect-the-german-program-at-fsu Slavic: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/31/protect-the-slavicrussian-program-at-fsu The German and the Slavic Divisions are grateful for your support.
