Hecker Letter Responds To Bangor Daily News Column
Jeff Hecker, dean of UMaine’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, responded in a Bangor Daily News letter to the editor to an op-ed column by UMaine historian Jay Bregman that appeared in the Monday BDN about the elimination of the Latin major. In his letter, Hecker said Latin instruction will still be available to students but the elimination of the major will allow more classics studies to be taught to a broader group of students.
