Letter to the Editor: UC has no plans to change study abroad programs in upcoming year

Thank you for publishing the recent editorial, “In the face of terror, UC should not curb study abroad.” We cannot speak for individual University of California campuses, but as the associate vice provost and executive director of the UC Education Abroad Program, a systemwide program serving all 10 UC campuses, I wish to clarify that with the exception of the suspension of our programming in Turkey for the 2016-2017 academic year, we currently have no plans to curb programs or halt development.
