On Campus: University of Wisconsin-Madison is suspending Egypt study abroad programs

Six UW-Madison students are at an Egypt airport awaiting evacuation back to the U.S.

The university is suspending its study abroad programs in Egypt in light of political unrest. The students had arrived in Alexandria in January to study Arabic language programs. Two other students who were scheduled to go to Cairo on Wednesday will not go as planned, according to UW-Madison officials.
