The Faculty Senate at the State University of New York at Albany has voted to condemn the administration's plans to phase out degrees in French, Russian, Italian and classics, The Albany Times-Union reported. The Senate passed resolutions calling for the decision to be reversed, and also criticizing the way the university made the decision in the first place. At the time Albany announced the plans, officials said that faculty had been consulted, but declined to specify how that took place. Some faculty members at the Senate meeting called for the university to finance languages through cuts in athletics budgets. A spokesman for the university said that officials would review and consider the Faculty Senate's views.
