    Dear Mary,

    I am writing to you as a leader of the Academy of Management or a sister society to let you know that on October 10, 2017, the Board of Governors of the Academy of Management (AOM) voted to condemn the September 24, 2017, White House proclamation banning travel and immigration into the United States by citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad, and North Korea, and curtailing travel to the United States by citizens of Iraq and Venezuela.

    The AOM viewed these restrictions as a threat to science and scholarship and called for the immediate reversal of the policy. In a condemnation sent to President Donald J. Trump, the AOM asserted that the policy threatens scholarly exchange, academic freedom, and the dissemination of scientific findings and thus fundamentally limits fulfillment of AOM's mission. See full AOM statement.

    In addition, the AOM joined more than 180 scientific and educational associations and universities in a separate statement to Trump, saying that the latest policy discourages many of the best and brightest international scholars and students from studying, working, and attending academic and scientific conferences in the United States. See joint statement.

    In a message to the press, the AOM Board called Trump's September 24 proclamation "antithetical to scientific progress." See press release.

    These actions by the Board of Governors are consistent with the recently adopted policy that allows the AOM to take stands under exceptional circumstances that threaten the existence, purpose, or functioning of the AOM as an organization. The Board made its decision after deliberating on a proposal submitted by Anita McGahan, Immediate Past President, and supported by thirteen former AOM presidents.

    Please disseminate this information to your members through your lists and by any other means you feel appropriate.

    Thank you.
