> A total of six Department of Education international education
> competitions have been canceled because of the Congressional funding cuts
> to Title VI/Fulbright-Hays. They are listed on this Department of
> Education web page:
> http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/iegps/index.html
>
> H-Asia readers may want to note that among the canceled competitions is
> that for American Overseas Research Centers. Since the current four-year
> cycle for ORC support ends in September, this means that beginning October
> all ORCs that currently have grants will lose their funding. At present,
> holders of these grants include the Center for Khmer Studies, American
> Institute of Indian Studies, American Institute of Pakistan Studies,
> American Center for Mongolian Studies, and the American Institute for Sri
> Lankan Studies. The loss of these funds will have a serious impact on
> these organizations.
>
> I can only hope that Congress will in the FY 2012 reverse these cuts to
> international education.
