The Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago is a National Resource Center for the study of a region extending from Morocco in the West to Kazakhstan in the East. As a result, this Area Center covers some of the most important and controversial regions - including North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Prior to the Center's formation, scholars originally received funding administered by Title VI of the US Department of Defense's National Defense Education Act. The University of Chicago did not form its center until 1965, well after the administration of funding was moved to the US Department of Education by President John F. Kennedy. This area center consistently ranks in the highest tier of those dealing with Middle Eastern studies in the United States according to US Department of Education and external reviews. In the last competition for Department of Education's Title VI funds in 2006, the Center was awarded both NRC (National Resource Center) and FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) grants, one of only a few so honored nationwide. ==Center functions== The primary function of the Center is to serve as a meeting-place and a forum for all University members dealing with the Middle East, regardless of discipline. This is done informally in the social atmosphere of the Fazlur Rahman Common Room, as well as in formal settings, such as the Center's debates and sponsored colloquia. The Center also serves as the clearinghouse for all manner of Middle Eastern content for the mid-West region.
