TUJ to evacuate U.S. students in Japan

Temple is arranging a charter flight for U.S. students at its Temple University, Japan Campus, in Tokyo to leave Japan, University President Ann Weaver Hart said today. The move is in response to the uncertain situation at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and a State Department advisory urging Americans to avoid Japan or leave the country, Hart said. As many as 200 students might be voluntarily evacuated, possibly via Hong Kong on a Saturday flight. Included could be some of the 35 students from Temple's Philadelphia campus who were in Tokyo studying abroad.
