...countries such as Israel, Lebanon, Iran, and Kenya. The result was that students were prevented from traveling to some of the most interesting and educational places in the world simply because of a general, blanket warning. The old policy also ignored regional variations in safety within countries, causing blatant inconsistencies. Ironically, students at Yale—who were under much looser restrictions than their Crimson peers until last week—have never been able to visit the Indian side of Kashmir with university support (but have been allowed to travel to the rest of the country).

I've been listening to national politicians who state that what happened in New Orleans could not be anticipated. That is a blatant lie.
