HIGHER ED ASSOCIATIONS SEND LETTER OPPOSING CHANGES TO INTERNATIONAL ED AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAMS
A group of higher education associations have joined in signing a letter led by the American Council on Education (ACE) opposing changes to international education and foreign language programs. The Department of Education issued a proposed rule for the National Resource Centers that would essentially clarify the language. However, the letter from ACE shares concerns, "we are concerned that the proposed changes to the NRC and FLAS programs will make substantial and historic changes that will have long and deep impacts on these important, and successful, programs."
