Diglossia refers to a situation in which there are two varieties of a single language used in different social contexts and in which one has higher prestige than the other. American academic public administration suffers from a reverse diglossia. Rather than being privileged by knowledge of the dominant global language, monolingual Americans are stuck in an academic provincialism brought on by their inability to engage other cultures. This case is made both conceptually and empirically, and suggestions for remedying the situation are offered. In closing, it is argued that language competence has to be seen as a personal ethical challenge for the American internationalist
