Hello Jenifer,

The University of Wisconsin-Madison either changes the state to Wisconsin
(first choice according to our campus attorneys) or strikes clauses that
refer to other states or foreign countries (preferring to "remain silent"
on the subject).

I am writing from home so I do not have the University of Chicago license
in front of me, but, we did one of the above and it was accepted.

Sincerely,

Karl E. Debus
