As such she can be expected to have an influence on Jaffna University students, many of whom are radical in their support for the LTTE, for a couple of decades. It is clearly in the Mission's interest to have a University lecturer in Jaffna that not only speaks favorably about the US, but can also give first hand accounts of her experience with the USG, as well as be an influencing factor on the University students' respect for democracy. The IVP grant will permit her to do just that.
