Objet: saving the department of French at Leiden University
Dear all,
I am writing you to ask you to please sign the petition that goes below to save the department of French at Leiden University, which is the department that I work in.
Our dean has expressed the intention to eliminate the departments of French, Italian and German in order to better profile the Faculty of Humanities in an orientation towards studies of the world beyond Europe (as if French were not spoken outside of Europe). The decision to eliminate French is not based on fiscal considerations, since the department is solvent and brings in lots of outside research funds.
Since the elimination of the department of French will seriously hamper the future of (Romance) linguistics at Leiden University, I would like to ask you to please sign the petition below. Although it is in Dutch, the various things requested are rather straightforward: you fill in your name, function and location, and you will receive a mail that asks you to confirm ('bevestigen' in Dutch).
Many thanks for your help,
Johan Rooryck
