Terror bill would limit Florida scholars' travels


http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/orl-terrorism2306may23,0,3765734.story?coll=orl-news-headlines-state


Florida could become one of the most restrictive states in the nation for international scholars under a proposal that would forbid professors and students from visiting Cuba and other nations accused of supporting terrorism.

Gov. Jeb Bush has expressed support for the bill and is likely to sign it into law. The measure, passed unanimously by the Legislature earlier this month, prohibits faculty and students at public universities and community colleges from using "state or non-state funds" to travel to any country deemed a sponsor of terrorists. Those guidelines would go further than those of the federal government.

If we're free, we can go where we want.
