Title: International-Education Programs Face Challenges in President's Budget
Body: From http://chronicle.com/article/International-Education/138467 International-Education Programs Face Challenges in President's Budget By Ian Wilhelm April 10, 2013 Under President Obama's budget for the 2014 fiscal year, announced on Wednesday, international-education programs would face a gloomy outlook. The U.S. State Department has requested $309.8-million, a $16.6-million drop from 2013, for academic programs. The Fulbright Program, its flagship academic-exchange effort, would receive $232.5-million, an increase of less than $1-million. The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, which provides funds for overseas study to undergraduates who receive Pell Grants, would be cut by $2.2-million, to $10.8-million. The Obama administration is asking for an increase in Title VI funds, which support university centers that conduct research on various regions of the world and foster the study of Bengali, Farsi, and other foreign languages that are rarely taught. The program, which is run by the U.S. Department of Education, would receive $73.5-million in 2014, a $6.9-million increase. However, the administration did not seek to restore funds that were cut from Title VI in 2011, when it was reduced by some 40 percent.

Title: New Journal on Slavic Languages and Cultures
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-1530.html The Institute for Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) has launched a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to aspects of Slavic philology and neighbouring fields (traditionally the Institute has been doing research not only on Slavic, but also on Baltic and Balkan philology, as well as looking on Slavic in a broader areal and typological context). The journal publishes papers in Russian, in Slavic and in the major European languages (such as English and German). We hope that the journal will become a forum of interaction and mutual enrichment of the Russian, East European and Western philological traditions. The journal will come out in two issues per year both in hard copies and online. The web page of the journal is http://www.slovene.ru Two first issues are available online (for free).
