I heard a report on WABE (one of Atlanta's public radio stations) this morning about a group of students who initiated action to get Georgia Tech to teach Korean. The support from Atlanta's Korean community has raised enough funds to hire a professor and offer classes. While I think that this is great that they were able to motivate a complacent administration to respond to their legitimate request I wonder how far this would extend. Would Tech offer any class which a company or group offered to sponsor?

(As an aside, it took a bit of digging through the html code to find a direct link to the article since www.wabe.org uses frames which makes it more difficult to find links to the contents of a specific frame. Annoying.)
