Yale relaxes int’l travel restrictions 3.04.08
Students hoping to spend their summers studying in Bhutan, Burma or Bangladesh can now rest easy. But first, they should be sure to apply for Yale-sponsored grants or fellowships to help subsidize their exotic excursions — for their trips are now eligible for University support. Under a new policy formalized last week, the University will lift its ban on Yale-sponsored undergraduate travel to dozens of countries and simplify how restrictions on foreign travel are developed and applied. Previously, Yale forbade University-sponsored student travel to at least some regions of 75 countries. Now, that number will drop to about 25, officials said.
