Congress Members Ross and Foushee Advocate for Federal Support in Foreign Language Education

Representatives Deborah Ross and Valerie Foushee from North Carolina have introduced federal legislation aimed at reauthorizing Title VI of the Higher Education Act. This act supports foreign language and international study programs at universities nationwide. The bill, which Ross inherited from former Representative David Price, seeks to enhance global education programs and address the fluctuating funding for foreign language studies. The legislation is particularly significant for North Carolina, where universities have varied requirements for foreign language proficiency. The bill proposes to reauthorize and extend programs for international and foreign language studies, including National Resource Centers and Language Resource Centers, among others. It aims to bolster foreign language proficiency and international education, which Ross argues are crucial for national security and competitiveness.
