Former Concord professor blasts foreign language teaching cuts
Paul Chryssikos, a former Concord College language professor, blames reduced foreign language requirements for dwindling qualified language teachers in southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia. He notes 12 hours of language in 1958 dropped to a 1967-68 choice of four science hours or six language hours, leading to lower enrollments and, in 1975, a proposal to terminate the Concord language teacher education program, which he opposed.
