Kenya Semester Update: Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs Valerie Lehr communicated last week to students enrolled in the Kenya Semester for Spring 2008. Her full message is posted to the Web. In summary, she noted that "Through constant contact with our faculty in Kenya and with governmental sources here and abroad, we continue to be concerned about [your] safety for the spring semester. We know that the climate in Kenya is uncertain, but share hope with our Kenyan colleagues that the situation will calm. It is clear to us that even if we decide that it is safe enough to run the program this semester, elements of the program will need to be changed. It is, for example, unlikely that we would be able to do the rural home stay. We will make a decision about the status of the Spring 2008 Kenya Semester on Wednesday, January 9. There are several conditions that must be met for us to proceed with the program:
*Violence in Kenya must subside.
*Political leadership must have begun discussions for resolving their disputes.
*Governmental advisories from the United States and other nations advising against "all but essential travel" (British Foreign Office Advisory, 1/3/08) to Kenya must be lifted."
