School of Languages

They are abolishing our school of languages, which was an unnecessary administrative unit (in some people's opinion) between the language departments and the College.  In Spanish we never liked having it much, because they wanted to get our donors, and because of various personality frictions, etc... We were both a part and not a part of it, so there were constant tensions. The school did not increase enrollments in lesser taught tongues, so it did not succeed in that dimension.
