Freaky letter from my soon to be former employer in my inbox today. The gist of it is that since the US and Britain initiated war on Iraq all students and faculty are prohibited from traveling to the Middle East, the US and Britain. Those individuals who are now in any of those countries are strongly advised to return to Japan as soon as possible. Then it advises those who must travel or must remain overseas should stay away from government, police and military facilities that might be terrorist targets. And they should contact the school more than once a week regarding their whereabouts.
Is it just me or is that a little too Orwellian?
