The FU-BEST program will pay the visiting faculty member selected for a given semester the honorarium for one or two content courses. The faculty member must be accompanied by at least 8 or 10 students from his/her home institution, depending on whether one or two courses are taught by the visitor; these students will be required to enroll in the FU-BEST program on a regular, standard basis, including the one or two courses taught by the visiting faculty member. The Transatlantic Experience course will also be open to other FU-BEST participants, a second content course taught by the visitor would normally only enroll students from the visiting faculty member's institution. FU-BEST will provide the visiting faculty member with some office space onsite as well as a 750 Euro travel allowance for air travel between the U.S. and Berlin. Candidates must be nominated by the chief academic officer of their home institution. Please see the application materials posted on the FU-BEST website for further details.

Title: Judge Sets Deadline for Arizona Lawmakers to Fund ELL Programs
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2007/10/12/08aparizona_web.h27.html?tmp=281241483 Judge Sets Deadline for Arizona Lawmakers to Fund ELL Programs Association Press October 12, 2007 A federal judge on Thursday set a March 4 deadline for the state to adequately fund programs for students who are learning the English language. U.S. District Judge Raner C. Collins of Tucson also said he will impose sanctions if the state fails to comply with his order. He didn't specify what those sanctions might be. The contempt order stems from the Legislature's failure to meet a previous deadline set by the judge. The case centers on several rulings by Collins and another judge that the state has failed to provide adequate funding for programs for students who are learning English in violation of a federal civil rights law requiring equal opportunities in education.

Body: From http://www.oregonlive.com/education/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1192591534232800.xml&coll=7 Parents say school misread son's ethnicity Language - A lawsuit claims Hillsboro educators placed the English-speaking boy in ESL solely because he is Latino October 17, 2007 ESMERALDA BERMUDEZ For more than a year, a Latino boy who speaks only English sat in his classroom confused by what his Spanish-speaking classmates were saying and falling behind in his work. His mother complained to school officials, but they insisted he belonged in the English as a Second Language program. Complicating things, the boy was considered to be developmentally delayed. Now the family has sued the Hillsboro School District, accusing educators at Orenco Elementary School of putting Alek Villaraldo in the English as a Second Language program during kindergarten and a portion of first grade solely because he was Latino. In the family's federal lawsuit, his parents, Indhira and Rene Villaraldo, say they were never notified or asked for consent to place their son in the program.
