Semiotics Department Accuses University Administration
Of Anti-Semiotism

PROVIDENCE, RI--After years of budget cuts and
downsizing, Brown University's Semiotics Department
lashed out at school administrators Monday, accusing
them of "blatant anti-semiotism."  "How can such
shamefully anti-semiotic acts be condoned in an
enlightened society?" asked professor Don Frisch. "It
deeply saddens me that in the year 2001, there are
still people out there who discriminate against a
group of people just because they engage in the study
of signs and symbols, especially as elements of
language or other systems of communication." Frisch
said he is outraged that his department has been
relegated to the academic ghetto.
