A wonderful, wonderful response from a biochemist in response to SUNY Albany's horrible decision to cut French, Italian, Classics, Russian, and Theatre.

That single chapter in a much longer book is one of the great works of modern literature. You would find a lot in it to think about. I'm sure your Russian faculty would love to talk with you about it - if only you had a Russian department, which now, of course, you don't.

O SNAP!

But seriously, this letter is made of God and awesome. I'ma link on my LJ when I finish it.

Thank you

for posting this link.

I have a friend in the (former) Russian department. I forwarded her the link as it quite strikes to the fashion.

Wow.

I'm shocked at the way the university is going, and I'm delighted and impressed with that letter/essay/article.

Amen to that!

Somebody print this on something durable and mail it to all university budget controllers...

Actually the other problem is that now, all SUNY Albany degrees that have been issued up to this point are worth less, as degrees are evaluated using the current status of the school, regardless of date of issue.

Day-um.

Great to hear a scientist praise the arts and humanities, and the necessity of a complete education.
