 Subject: MASSMAIL - Security Announcement Regarding Pakistan

Dear Colleagues,

I write to update you as to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
November 29, 2007 announcement regarding university sponsored activities in
Pakistan.

The state of emergency imposed in Pakistan on November 3 has been revoked.
We are pleased to announce that the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign is lifting the temporary suspension of sponsored
activities in Pakistan which require our personnel to be in-country. Thus,
existing and pending initiatives in Pakistan that were affected by this
suspension may now resume. We regret any inconvenience caused by the
suspension, and welcome all academic exchanges with Pakistan.

Please note that Pakistan, along with a number of other countries (list
provided below), remains under a U.S. State Department Travel warning. Any
student, faculty or staff travel to any country under a U.S. State
Department Travel Warning is subject to the existing University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign Travel Policies regarding such situations. A list of
current travel warnings is available at the U.S. State Department web site
at <http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html>.

At the Office of International Affairs, it is our endeavor to ensure the
safety and security of our students, faculty, and staff.  If you have any
questions, please contact the Office of the Associate Provost for
International Affairs.

Sincerely,
William I. Brustein
