Dear NCH leaders,

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.

The story I posted on the NCH website is below, and here is the link:
http://historycoalition.org/2015/11/19/oppose-deep-cuts-in-federal-funding-for-international-education/

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.

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.

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!

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.
