Colorado Senate orders English proficiency for college instructors
Colorado senators voted 20 to 7 to add an English proficiency requirement to the state’s budget bill for all college and university teachers. Critics call it narrow minded and potentially discriminatory. The amendment follows a CSU student claim of failing calculus due to a teaching assistant with a foreign accent. Senator Jim Rizzuto opposed the measure saying the move is foolish and cites Harvard, Cornell and Columbia as examples of institutions that would not restrict language. The proposal must survive House consideration in a joint panel after budget passage.
