CAUT reports that Canadian working on projects funded wholly or in part by American federal agencies have been sent a lengthy questionnaire to determine how their work aligns with the Trump administration’s political agenda:
In the questionnaire, Canadian researchers are asked to confirm that their research:
does not include a climate or “environmental justice” component
does not contain diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) elements
does not ascribe to “gender ideology”
increases American influence globally
In addition, the questionnaire asks whether a researcher’s institution has a policy prohibiting collaboration with entities contrary to U.S. government interests and prevents partnerships with “communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties.”
