CAUT advised Canadian scientists to refrain from traveling to the United States

The Canadian Association of University Professors (CAUT) advised scientists to refrain from making optional trips to the United States. This was announced on Tuesday, April 15, on the association's website.

"Given the rapidly changing political environment in the United States and reports that individuals face difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommends that teachers travel to the United States only if absolutely necessary," the statement said.

Particular caution was advised to those scientists whose countries are in confrontation with the United States, who have expressed a negative opinion about the current American administration or its policies, whose research may be considered contrary to the position of the current US administration and whose travel documents indicate a gender other than the gender assigned to them at birth.
