sasac survey - fall 2000
SASAC Feedback Survey
    The Yale Council for International and Area Studies (YCIAS)'s South Asian
Studies committee is submitting a DOE (Department of Education) grant
proposal requesting support for South Asian studies-related scholarship and
courses at Yale.  SASAC wants to quantify any such interest in the Yale
community and would very much appreciate your feedback.
    This questionnaire will also be distributed in several classes.  If you have completed it once, please do not respond again (to avoid double counting). Also, please do not fill out this survey if you are not a Yale student - we need to accurately represent interest in the Yale community.
