Dear colleagues and friends,

I am sending you the video described below in the hopes that it will help you to raise public awareness of the serious ramifications of the
Albany actions and possibly spur some action (or reaction as it were).


I am also sending information forwarded from Bob Peckham ("Tennessee Bob") - there are some extremely interesting points made that could
help maintain the integrity or avoid the elimination of some of our
language programs.


Amitiés,
Madeline

Dear colleagues:

The mini documentary that I have created, with our film maker Kelsey
Lane, in order to bring more attention to cuts in state funding for
education has been completed. Please watch and pass along to friends!
Our public assembly occurs today!

Chers collègues, Notre documentaire sur la désactivation des certains
programmes de langues étrangères à notre université d'État de New York a
été complété. Une version française est à venir mais, en entre-temps,
s'il vous plaît regardez et envoyez à vos amis. Aidez-nous à sauver
l'étude des langues étrangères aux États-Unis !!! Merci mille fois!
