The report is about the self-degrading policy carried out with progressive obstinacy at the Faculty of Economics, University of Salerno, against foreign languages (English in particular) soon after the enactment of the university reform and its first phase (2001-2004). The peak of the scandal was reached by the automatic validation of 6 credits (just 3 from the academic session 2003-2004 onwards) for all the students who had attended public or private high school (450 hours of French, English, German or Spanish) before enrolling at University. After many decades of three-year courses held in that Faculty (English compulsory plus one more foreign language chosen by the student), the language sector was completely excluded from all budget resources. Consequently official courses and teaching were eliminated from the curricula subjects both for the so-called laurea breve (LB) and for the laurea specialistica (LS), with no tuition at all for the prova. This paper tells the story of a resolute and courageous struggle against the policy at the Faculty of Economics.

Abstract

The report is about the self-degrading policy carried out with progressive obstinacy at the Faculty of Economics, University of Salerno, against foreign languages (English in particular) soon after the enactment of the university reform and its first phase (2001-2004). The peak of the scandal was reached by the automatic validation of 6 credits (just 3 from the academic session 2003-2004 onwards) for all the students who had attended public or private high school (450 hours of French, English, German or Spanish) before enrolling at University. After many decades of three-year courses held in that Faculty (English compulsory plus one more foreign language chosen by the student), the language sector was completely excluded from all budget resources. Consequently official courses and teaching were eliminated from the curricula subjects both for the so-called laurea breve (LB) and for the laurea specialistica (LS), with no tuition at all for the prova. This paper tells the story of a resolute and courageous struggle against the policy at the Faculty of Economics.
