<p>That is pretty shocking after SUNY-Albany’s earlier language program cuts. </p>

<p>(BTW, I tried to find an online copy of Richard Haass’ speech to the ACTFL that was mentioned in the NY Times article, but I was unable to find it. I only found this commentary on his speech: [Views:</a> Foreign Language for Foreign Policy? - Inside Higher Ed](<a href=“http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2010/11/23/berman]Views:”>http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2010/11/23/berman)
If anyone knows where to get a copy of his speech online, please let me know. TIA)</p>

<p>I wonder how many students have to be pursuing a major in order for a school to consider it financially feasible.</p>
