    Never travel for business without a plan to get home on your own dime.

    Don't they have an embassy there?

      Are you serious? Do you think the U.S. Embassy would actually allow him inside the facility now? This is major small potatoes for them right now in Italy.

    does the US have military installation in Italy or nearby? why not take them in for the time being since they are in US soil.

      Why should the bases get infected? That is a huge risk without protocols in place.

    Hope that school as good insurance, they're going to (rightfully) be bankrupt when they sued after the dust settles..
    Best wishes to all of them!

    I’m not sure what they expected Fulbright to do?! As they said, they all received everything fullbright promised them. Coronavirus isn’t fullbright’s fault!

      GiVer it was probably autocorrect. Autocorrect did pay attention in school either.

      He did not want to pay for business class. There is a reason it is called business class, because the business not the individual pays for it.
