This notice was in my mailbox this morning

ALERT

The Japanese and Japanese Culture Center, and the Foreign Exchange Student Center, sent out a message advising students to be on the alert for groups engaged in religious proselytizing. Since these groups seem to be particularly intent on targeting foreign-exchange students, AKP received this notification. The notice characterizes this religious group as "evil," and indicates that they are most likely to lure unsuspecting students into their clutches through feigned connections with clubs, by asking for help with their surveys, or through suggestions of language exchange, after which their modus operandi is to forcefully importune the student to join their sect. Cases of mind control are not unheard of, and instances of psychological, physical, and economic suffering to the point they disrupt a student's academic life are common. In the event you are solicited by one of these groups, please resist their entreaties, give them no personal information, and report their presence to the AKP office immediately.
