Austin Hindi Varsity Environment


OK, I had to read this headline twice before I got it:
The flagship language course, which is at the heart of the flagship curriculum, will guide students to fluency in Hindi focused on contemporary issues, such as the environment, rural development, globalisation, religion, and gender.

Hindi, Urdu to be taught in US varsity Archana Mohan, Business Standard, Ahmedabad, December 18, 2006

Varsity == university, duh. In American English varsity may usually have connotations of American football, but not in India. And it seems Austin is now famous in Amedabad for teaching environmentalism in Hindi.
