Law exchange program suspended

University of North Dakota officials say an exchange program between the UND law school and the University of Oslo in Norway has been suspended after 27 years.

BISMARCK (AP) — University of North Dakota officials say an exchange program between the UND law school and the University of Oslo in Norway has been suspended after 27 years.

UND’s interim provost, Paul LeBel, said the University of Oslo is raising questions about sending students to the United States rather than having them take European Union study programs.

He said UND is preparing a new proposal and he believes the exchange will continue in some form.

Only two Norwegian students attended UND law classes this spring, and UND doesn’t plan to send any students to Norway this summer. Officials said the summer exchange was suspended because of accreditation problems.
