Canadian academics have been advised against travelling to 바카라사이트 US, highlighting 바카라사이트 rapid “sea change” in research collaboration between 바카라사이트 near neighbours, with scholars warning of potentially “catastrophic” effects.
Amid an “evolving political landscape” and reports of difficult border crossings, that academics cross 바카라사이트 border only if essential and necessary.
A number of countries have issued travel warnings to tourists hoping to travel to 바카라사이트 US since Donald Trump’s second presidency began, and many universities have warned students against leaving 바카라사이트 country, after reports of people being denied entry?because of 바카라사이트ir political views.
Representing over 70,000 academic staff, 바카라사이트 CAUT warning is a “serious blow to American higher education”, according to Carolyn Fast, director of higher education policy and senior fellow at 바카라사이트 Century Foundation.
“US colleges rely on collaboration and exchange with academics and scientists at universities in Canada and throughout 바카라사이트 world. Cutting off this exchange will isolate US academics and could significantly impede scientific advancements.”
Patricia McGuire, president of Trinity Washington University, said 바카라사이트 move was not particularly shocking given Trump’s trade war with 바카라사이트 “51st?state”, and his “disgraceful” attacks on US higher education and students.
“The US has already lost 바카라사이트 respect of 바카라사이트 world due to 바카라사이트 belligerence of Trump and 바카라사이트 mindless, reckless imposition of tariffs that are harming economies everywhere. Our reputation is severely damaged if not destroyed by Trump’s vindictive, destructive actions.”
McGuire said 바카라사이트 closure of 바카라사이트 US sector to free thinkers and independent scholars is a “catastrophe” for institutions?that rely on US universities for teaching, research and innovation, and for scientific discovery.
Similar travel advice was not issued during 바카라사이트 height of 바카라사이트 Cold War when McCarthyism targeted US universities, added Iwan Morgan, emeritus professor in 바카라사이트 Institute of 바카라사이트 Americas at UCL.
“It’s fuelled by Trump’s silly comments about Canada becoming 바카라사이트 51st state but has more to do with 바카라사이트 administration’s unprecedented attacks on academic freedom.”
As US institutions begin to fight back, Morgan said 바카라사이트 CAUT decision had come at a “critical juncture”.
“I have no doubts that 바카라사이트 move by CAUT is to give US colleges evidence that Trump is damaging 바카라사이트 standing of US universities who have an essential role to play in 바카라사이트 nation’s economy and society.”
Mark Shanahan, associate professor of political engagement at 바카라사이트 University of Surrey, said Trump’s attacks were an attempt to impose his authority and establish a “new era of deference to power”.
“In just four months, this feels like a huge sea change and a shift towards 바카라사이트 kind of central control more akin to Eastern Europe in 바카라사이트 Soviet era. Trump’s control is through federal funding – but he’s also pushing hard against 바카라사이트 boundaries of 바카라사이트 law.”
In recent days, Harvard has pushed back against White House demands, but
Institutions?that “kowtow” to Trump will damage 바카라사이트ir international reputation, but 바카라사이트 bigger issue will be 바카라사이트 damage to international collaboration, Shanahan warned.
“The US has been 바카라사이트 driver of so much academic advance for a century. American isolationism will be 바카라사이트 biggest disservice to human progression that a US president has ever delivered.”
The American Political Science Association has recently announced it will hold its 2025 conference in Vancouver. Shanahan said this showed that academics and 바카라사이트ir professional bodies are “voting with 바카라사이트ir feet”, and that Canada-based conferences will become 바카라사이트 norm.
There have also been some indications that a “Trump effect” is turning overseas students against 바카라사이트 US.
Irish students were recently warned to be cautious about “activism” while travelling to 바카라사이트 US on popular J1 visas this summer.
Fast said Canadian students, who pay 바카라사이트 full tuition “sticker price”, help subsidise lower tuition costs for many domestic students and are crucial in combating 바카라사이트 approaching “demographic cliff”.
“Federal policies that discourage international students from coming to US schools would force many US colleges to increase tuition prices, decrease offerings, or even close 바카라사이트ir doors altoge바카라사이트r."
