Title: Languages Left Out of Gen Ed
Body: From http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/04/19/gwu Left Out of Gen Ed by Scott Jaschik April 19, 2010 When colleges and universities revamp curricular requirements, disciplines can become winners or losers. Those fields that are required (or that have many courses that meet requirements) enjoy assured enrollments. So when a college votes down a foreign language requirement, as faculty members did last year in the arts and sciences college of George Washington University, that can be a blow to those who teach languages. But at George Washington, the final package of reforms -- adopted by arts and sciences faculty Friday in an overwhelming vote -- went even further. The college had required two courses in foreign languages or cultures -- and that requirement is gone. The college's new requirements for various kinds of learning outcomes (such as critical thinking) have been set up in such a way that introductory foreign language courses will automatically not count toward the fulfillment of any requirement.

Title: Colleges Debate ASL as Foreign Language
Body: From http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/education/ct-met-sign-language-20100416,0,2337497.story Is American Sign Language a ‘foreign’ language? On many college campuses, it is, but to some, it doesn’t make the cut, sparking a fierce debate about the nature of culture and language itself By Angie Leventis Lourgos April 18, 2010 The practice of awarding foreign language credit for American Sign Language coursework has been fiercely debated at universities across the country. Some educators argue an indigenous language by definition can't be considered foreign. Others say a language must have literature for proper study.

Title: Treasured Teacher Embodies 100 Reasons To Learn Oneida
Body: From http://www.americanindiannews.org/2010/04/treasured-teacher-embodies-100-reasons-to-learn-oneida When Maria Hinton was born nearly 100 years ago, every Oneida family spoke the language of their ancestors. Now a great-great-grandmother, Hinton may be one of a few fluent Oneida speakers left in Wisconsin, but she is determined not to be the last. Hinton recently put the finishing touches on an exhaustive recording of the Oneida dictionary.
