The proposed federal budget cancels international education and foreign language studies funding completely

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDIES (IEFLS)
The Administration does not request funding for the Domestic or Overseas Programs for fiscal year 2026. These programs are inconsistent with Administration priorities and do not advance American interests or values. States, localities, and institutions of higher education, not the Federal government, are best suited to determine whether to support the activities authorized under this program or similar activities within their own budgets and without unnecessary administrative burden imposed by the Federal government.

Are we doing our books on here? Mine came out in April. It shows how the traditional Chinese novel Water Margin crossed boundaries of elite and popular, private and commercial, civil and martial through the power of print. Download a copy, it's free! www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

You know the text you are translating is repetitive when you literally see patterns in it as you scroll through. Add line feeds and tabs and see the sentence fragments line up.
