A National Disgrace

OK, I know I have a vested interest here, but how the hell was this allowed to happen? 

A sad story: no more Asian Studies at Durham

This is not old news, but I still can't believe they went through with it. Bastards.

I know... of course, the irony is that other places are opening such courses, and doing rather well, actually. Not to mention all the Confucius Institutes opening up all over the country to promote Chinese language and culture. So such students could probably find courses elsewhere - but Durham is going to miss out on all that. I just feel sorry for Don and his colleagues, who deserved better.
