Title: Federal Cuts for Eurasian and Eastern European Studies
Body: From http://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2013/10/23/federal-cuts-eurasian-and-eastern-european-studies#.UmrRwQNr_Gw.email Federal Cuts for Eurasian and Eastern European Studies October 23, 2013 The Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) has learned that the Title VIII program – a U.S. State Department program that funds language training and research in Eurasian and Eastern European studies – did not receive an appropriation for the federal fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. Because the money is typically allocated one year and spent the next, that means a significant reduction in the number of fellowships and grants available in 2013-14. The budget for Title VIII had already sustained cuts: while the funding level averaged about $4.5 million per year throughout the early 2000s, it was cut to $3.3 million in fiscal year 2012, according to an analysis of the funding situation that ASEEES published in its newsletter earlier this year. “Government seems to be shortsighted in cutting these small programs that have large outcomes," said Lynda Park, the association's executive director. "I think just about every specialist in our field who was trained in the last 25 years was impacted by Title VIII in one form or another.” ASEEES is maintaining a list on its website of programs that will be suspended for the 2013-14 year. The association is advocating for the restoration of funding for 2014-15.
