We have just heard that SUNY Albany has announced it is cutting its Russian and other language programs as a way to attack its budget deficit. You can read the article about the cuts here:

If you agree with us that it is short-sighted to cut the funding for study of languages that our own government has defined as "critical," you can sign an online petition here. It just takes a minute, and maybe with enough support, SUNY Albany will look take another look and find a way to preserve this vital program.
