Acting President and Dean of Faculty Joseph Urgo published an essay in the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages (ADFL) Bulletin (fall 2008, vol. 40, no. 1). In "Counting to One is Not Counting," Urgo questions why the Spellings commission did not consider the humanities in its report. "It is not simply that the Spelling commission report fails to mention the humanities as a factor in higher education; the report itself is devoid of a humanities perspective on what it means to be an educated human being."
The essay was based on Urgo's presentation at the 2007 MLA convention in Chicago.
