    Subject: Boston University: Status of ASL (again)


    Hello everyone,

    Just a quick note to let the linguistics community know about our latest efforts to have ASL recognized for purposes of foreign language degree requirements at Boston University. (We are trying again after failing to achieve this on our last attempt, a decade ago.) We have a Web site with a lot of information on this subject (much of which may be of general interest); the site also includes an on-line petition, in case linguists may wish to offer support.
