Unrest in France
The Office of Overseas Study regularly monitors information relevant to the
safety of IU students abroad from official sources and from our international
partners and colleagues. We take all reasonable and feasible precautions so that
students on our programs have a safe experience. We have emergency plans in
place for responding to any crises which might arise.
We are following very closely the developments of the recent outbreak of
violence in France. On November y, The Department of State issued a
Public
Announcement which
we have shared with all IU students in France. The on-site staff for IU's
administered and co-sponsored programs in Aix, Paris (IES), Rennes (CIEE) and
Rouen have been in direct touch with us to let us know that our students are
fine and are being carefully advised about appropriate safety precautions during
this period of unrest.
We will update this site as more information becomes available.
