... are up at institutions of higher learning in the last four years, according to the Modern Language Association’s recent survey [PDFs]:
| 2006 Ranking and Language | 1998 | 2002 | % Change ’98–’02 | 2006 | % Change ’02–’06 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8. Latin | 26,145 | 29,841 | +14.1% | 32,191 | +7.9% |
| 11. Ancient Greek | 16,402 | 20,376 | +24.2% | 22,849 | +12.1% |
Though the growth rate is not as high as previously. Contrast the growth of the professorate, which has not kept pace with increased enrollments in general (cf. the report/policy statement of the American Association of University Professors, “Contingent Appointments and the Academic Profession”).
