Greetings,

We have gotten final approval from our university administration, for
a charter designed to insure the stability of our college's linguistics
program. Since I believe that our solution might be a helpful model
for other Linguistics programs that do not have departmental status,
I am happy to post our charter on the web and invite anyone interested
to have a look.
