Brigham Young University plans to reopen a study-abroad center in Jerusalem that has been closed for several years and that the university made an abortive attempt to reopen this past summer. According to the Deseret News, the university will allow 44 students to enroll at its Center for Near Eastern Studies. The center was closed in 2001 amid increasing violence between Palestinians and Israelis. This past summer, the university laid plans to reopen the center, but had to put those plans on hold during a monthlong war between Israel and the Hezbollah militia (The Chronicle, August 24).
