Today, OFAC has issued a general license to authorize certain academic and professional exchange activities between the United States and Sudan, which are otherwise prohibited by the Sudanese Sanctions Regulations (31 C.F.R. Part 538). The general license allows U.S. academic institutions to establish and operate academic exchange programs with academic institutions in Sudan, as set forth in the general license. The general license also authorizes, for the benefit of persons in Sudan, the administration by U.S. persons of professional certificate and university entrance examinations and the conduct by U.S. persons of professional training seminars in multiple subject areas on a not-for-profit basis. In addition, the general license permits certain U.S. persons to conduct research in Sudan for noncommercial studies. Finally, the general license also authorizes certain financial transactions and, subject to specified restrictions, the release of technology and software to Sudanese students attending school in the United States.
