Save Berkeley EALC Rally - May 8th, 2008 |
Please sign our petition at
petition.berkeley.edu/
In the next fiscal year of 2008, UC
Berkeley’s East Asian Languages and
Cultures department faces a cut of 25%
to the budget earmarked for language
lecturers and Graduate Student
Instructors.* What this means for
students is:
Percentage of classes to be cut from
each language:
* Japanese 40%
* Chinese 54%
* Korean 66%
Numbers of students to be cut from next
year’s classes:
* Chinese: 550
* Japanese: 496
* Korean: 484
(Source: EALC office)
This academic year, 3200 students took
EALC language classes—and we already had
to turn away hundreds of interested
students for lack of funds. Next year,
EALC will only be able to accommodate
1500 students.
