<div>Dear NCH leaders,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Today our colleagues at the National Humanities Alliance and
Coalition for International Education issued a legislative alert
asking people to contact their Representatives and Senators in
opposition to potentially severe cuts to federal international
education programs. Please pass this information along to your
members and urge them to respond to this alert.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The story I posted on the NCH website is below, and here is
the link: </div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://historycoalition.org/2015/11/19/oppose-deep-cuts-in-federal-funding-for-international-education/">http://historycoalition.org/2015/11/19/oppose-deep-cuts-in-federal-funding-for-international-education/</a><br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>House and Senate Appropriations Committees are meeting
right now to negotiate funding levels and severe cuts to
Title VI and Fulbright-Hays international education programs
are on the table.<br>
<br>
The House would fund Title VI (A&B) Domestic Programs at
$65 million and Fulbright-Hays Overseas Programs at $7
million for fiscal year (FY) 2016. This reflects level
funding from FY 15. However, the Senate is proposing to
reduce funding in FY 16 for Title VI to $43.5 million and
slash Fulbright-Hays funding by 50 percent to $3.5 million.<br>
<br>
Act now to tell appropriators that international education
programs are crucial for educating U.S. students for our
interconnected world and training experts in foreign
languages and cultures! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please follow this link to the National Humanities
Alliance’s legislative alert center where you can contact
your Representative and Senator and tell them to oppose
these cuts.<br>
