- This would be the end of the University of Arizona's Center for East Asian Studies:
- Here we go. <Elimination> of all IFLE funding. No FLAS fellowships or NRC area studies centers nationwide. Might be nice of even a single university president was willing to speak up about this disaster for R1 universities & their students. democrats-appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
- Inside Higher Ed reporting on funding for National Resource Centers like the one here at University of Arizona. If the already-awarded federal funds are not released by 9/30, they are gone and the Center for East Asian Studies will likely close.

- We founded the U of Arizona Center for East Asian Studies three years ago with a US Dept of Education grant. Last Friday marked the end of year 3 of 4. Though the grant was for four years, we have not received word about year 4 funding. Without this support, we have no choice but to close down.
