Carol-

I was just calling to glean information about what's going on in RLL.  I was out yesterday and was barraged by questions when I arrived this morning.  Hopefully we'll have a chance to talk soon.  We currently have $67,000 to purchase romance languages materials and lion-share of that goes towards French so please let me know whatever solidarity I can contribute to as this issue moves forward.

Best Regards from the foxhole,

Matt

How can UF aim to be a major university without a PhD program in philosophy? Who decided that
philosophy was to be sacrificed as opposed to another area? Why shut down PhD programs in
French and German--instead have a PhD in modern languages with a concentration in a particular
language. It seems that these decisions were made without much imagination or thought for the long
term.
