European Academics Boycott U.S. Conference Citing Trump Administration Concerns
European academics are opting out of attending the Academy of Management (AOM) conference in the U.S. due to concerns over the political climate under President Trump's administration. The conference, which is a major event for business scholars, is experiencing a significant drop in attendance, with early registration figures indicating only half the usual number of participants. Concerns include data privacy, travel bans, and the adversarial atmosphere towards foreign scholars. In response, the AOM has decided to relocate future conferences to international locations, including Vienna, Toronto, and London.
