Quoting part of the story so my friends can read it on Facebook — due to the spat the Zuck has with the Canadian government, it isn’t possible to directly link to “real” news stories. Which is pretty interesting as to what their algo defines as a “news story”.
“Université de Montréal has issued a series of guidelines to students and staff who will be travelling to the United States for academic purposes.
Rector Daniel Jutras says the guidelines were issued on Thursday in response to numerous questions from students and staff about U.S. travel concerns amid a number of reports of detentions and denial of entry into that country in recent weeks.
Jutras says while there’s no specific incident involving the university community, it felt the need to respond to concerns raised.
The university advises students and staff to tell the institution when they are travelling and discuss potential risks before leaving to the U.S.”
