| #4 Actually I have a better idea ban any and all English university educators or researchers from traveling to the United States or transiting it's air space for any reason. ban the sharing of any information with them for any reason. See how they like playing that game when it's them on the end that gets the shaft. |

| #3 Well, AC, if most of our faculty didn't actually support this evil, there is a simple way to counter this, and it has precedent. Just like the law schools which take federal money but refuse to allow military recruiters because they "discriminate" against homosexuals, we could state that we refuse to deal with schools that discriminate against others based on their national origin. |

| #2 Like their Arab colleagues, British geo-science types sometimes come here to see such things as the Permian Basin and the Ogalala Aquifer, and to learn about our methods (which are the universally acknowledged cutting edge). There is a good reason we can't hit back with a similar boycott of these National Socialists. Here in the United States, this kind of boycott, refusing to work with organizations or individuals solely because of their national origin, is against the law, being considered equivalent to racism. Nevertheless, it should be possible to inconvenience visiting AUT storm troopers in ways short of a declared boycott; many, many ways. |
