The Students of all Foreign Language classes received the news today that all upper-level classes would be cut due to a budgeting decision made by the Dean of Intercultural and International Studies at De Anza. From now on, All the level 3, 4, 5, and 6 classes in any foreign language except Spanish, will only be offered in the Fall quarter of each year. However, this makes it impossible for anyone majoring in a language to complete the necessary coursework required to transfer to a 4-year university. It would take a student 5 years to get through all six levels of their chosen language. A few years ago, the school also cut all conversational classes, and we need those back as well.
The Dean remains silent despite our push. Behind the scenes we are preparing a formal response to these cuts.

The momentum is undeniable. This shows how many students are impacted by these cuts.

I really needed Japanese 3 for my transfer apps in the fall. This is so frustrating. Fix this immediately.

De Anza is supposed to be a top transfer school but they keep gutting the actual classes we need. so sick of this.

This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to finish our degree requirements on time now? Just another way to keep us here longer so they get more tuition money.
