Canadian Professors Warned Against US Travel
The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) advises its members against non-essential travel to the United States due to increased border scrutiny and reports of Canadians facing difficulties. The warning particularly targets academics from countries with strained U.S. relations, those critical of the Trump administration, and transgender individuals. Concerns exist regarding the potential compromise of sensitive research data during border searches. The CAUT will maintain this advisory until political screening at the border ceases and confidential information is better protected.
