American Professor Ordered To Leave

The government has ordered an American professor who has lived in Egypt for 15 years to leave the country within a week.

Paul Condie, 39, of San Jose, Calif., said Monday that the government gave no reason for refusing to renew his residence visa.

Condie, a professor of English at the American University in Cairo, has a wife and three children. His residence permit expired Sept. 30. Without it, the family cannot stay in Egypt.

Sources at the university said they believed Condie was active in a Christian church, suggesting he may have offended Egyptian sensitivities about proselytizing.
