Dear colleagues, 

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), of which AASUA is a member, has released a statement calling on the Alberta government to scrap Bill 18. 

“Applying a political litmus test to research funding is an unprecedented attack on scientific independence, research integrity and academic freedom,” said CAUT executive director David Robinson. “Bill 18 opens the door to political censorship that has no place in a democratic society such as ours.”

Sincerely, 

Gordon Swaters
AASUA President
