(Ottawa \u2013 January 30, 2017) The Canadian Association of University Teachers is advising its members affected by an executive order preventing individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for 90 days to defer their travel plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cCanadian academics who might be affected by the order and who have travel plans in the coming days should postpone travel to the United States,\u201d said CAUT Executive Director David Robinson.<\/p>\n
While the Government of Canada has clarified that the executive order will not affect individuals from the seven countries who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, Robinson is recommending that they seek legal counsel before they travel to the United States. The seven targeted countries are Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.<\/p>\n
Robinson is also recommending that members consult the CAUT Travel Advisory, Travelling to the United States: Your Rights at the Border.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe join with others in condemning this action as discriminatory,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
CAUT represents over 70,000 academic staff working in more than 120 universities and colleges across Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
