Lacking funding, College Board cancels AP Italian exam

The College Board announced Thursday that it will suspend the five-year-old Advanced Placement (AP) course and exam in Italian Language and Culture after this May, citing lack of funds to continue offering the program.Last April, the College Board announced that it would only continue to offer the program if supporters could raise enough outside funding.?The valiant effort to raise the needed funds was confounded by the unforeseen challenge of the current economic situation,? College Board president Gaston Caperton said in a statement.The College Board, however, is not against the AP Italian program in principle.?If at some future date the funding partnerships needed to support an AP Italian program arise, the College Board will consider renewing work to develop and offer the AP Italian course and exam,? according to the statement.Supporters of the program were expecting the government of the Italian Republic to help provide the $1.5 million the College Board said it needed to continue operating the program.
