Swine Flu Scare: State and Local Response

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has canceled its study abroad program to Mexico because of swine flu.

Karl Markgraf, the director of the Center for International Education, says staff decided Tuesday to pull the six-week program involving 23 students starting May 26.

Instead, staff is working on a comparable program to Costa Rica.

Five UW-Eau Claire students studying in Mexico now are so far healthy.
