Canada Academic Uni Association Warning on US Travel
The association that represents academic staff at Canadian universities is
warning its members against non-essential travel to the United States.
The Canadian Association of University Teachers released updated travel
advice Tuesday due to the “political landscape” created by President Donald
Trump’s administration and reports of some Canadians encountering
difficulties crossing the border.
The association says academics who are from countries that have tense
diplomatic relations with the United States, or who have themselves expressed
negative views about the Trump administration, should be particularly
cautious (謹慎) about U.S. travel.
In addition, the association says academics should carefully consider what
information they have, or need to have, on their electronic devices when
crossing the border, and take actions to protect sensitive information.
