The American University in Cairo has resumed a broad range of activities in research, education, and public service. Adjustments in staffing and scheduling have been necessary, but the University’s overall operations this fall are close to normal, and it is expected that all programs will be restored and the full faculty will be back in Cairo by February.

After hostilities began in June non-Egyptian members of the University staff were required to leave Egypt. The University was sequestrated and its property inventoried and safeguarded by the government of the United Arab Republic. An administrator, Dr. Hussein Said, was appointed to manage the University during the period of sequestration. Dr. Said, one of the U.A.R.’s most respected educators, has served as Minister of Higher Education and vice President of Cairo University.
