The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has temporarily suspended its Upward Bound program because of a flu outbreak.
Chancellor Joe Gow said in an e-mail this morning the flu has hit some staff and students in the residential summer program for high school students.
“In light of current international concerns about the spread of the H1N1 flu, we’re being extra careful to respond quickly to these kinds of situations,” Gow said. “Consequently, even though we’ve had no confirmed H1N1 cases among the ill students and staff here for our Upward Bound program, we have suspended the program for several days to be sure the flu outbreak is fully contained.”
The program has been postponed until 6 p.m. Sunday. Students in the program have returned to their homes, and parents will be asked to make sure students feeling ill not return to campus until they have physician approval.
