Dear Colleagues,
The University has finally decided to close German, Italian and Spanish. Spanish may
continue as a low level language course, but Italian and German have been totally
exorcised from Brookes, they are being phased out over the next 4 years.
I have just seen a petition and suggest that some of you may wish to sign it. It will
probably not help, but at least your will have done your 'Pflicht' for the subject.
The petition can be found under:
www.ipetitions/campaign/savebrookeslanguages.
Some of you may also wish to look at my letter to the Guardian, under
http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/comment/story
have a pleasant summer
