CUBA TRAVEL GROUP SEEKS ACADEMICS FOR PETITION SIGNATURE
ECDET, a group that is organizing to confront the restrictions on academic travel to Cuba, is putting together a petition to get the US government to change the guidelines back to what they were before June 2004. There is an effort to collect faculty names across the country. The names of the faculty will be submitted to the Congress on April 25th. They are trying to get individual faculty members, departments, colleges and faculty senates to join in this effort.
At this point all they need is for people to submit their names and their university. "ECDET, coordinated by Wayne Smith of Johns Hopkins University and Les McCabe of the Institute of Shipboard Education, is working to confront and rescind these regulations. So, if you are an academic, join ECDET today. It is free; all you need to do it reply to tiana@ciponline.org with your contact information and your wish to join ECDET. Help them repel the attack on academic freedom.
