Statement from ACTR on Racism and Equity
The Board of Directors of the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) condemns the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Mike Ramos, and so many others. We support the Black, Latinx, Native and Indigenous communities in their responses across the country, as well as those acting in solidarity through peaceful protest. As scholars and teachers of the languages and cultures of a region in which public discourse and dissent is often suppressed, it is of paramount importance that we not remain silent during this time of social discord. ACTR has a stated policy of commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity in its membership and programs and, thus, decries the injustice of institutionalized racism in any form.

ACTR Letter in Support of the Russian Program at Ohio University
Dear President Nellis, Provost Sayrs, and Dean Plassmann:
On behalf of the ACTR Board of Directors and the organization’s membership, we strongly oppose the recent decision to terminate Russian faculty Dr. Mila Shevchenko, Associate Professor of Instruction and Ms.Tetyana Dovbnya, Visiting Assistant Professor of Russian. As they are the only two faculty members teaching Russian language courses at Ohio University, eliminating their positions will end one of the region’s top programs.
