  • 1.  An example of a response: CMS Division survey - US travel restrictions and AOM response

    Posted 02-07-2017 07:55

    Dear GDO colleagues,


    in the spirit of sharing other division responses to the current AOM statement, I'm sharing below what we have done in the CMS division. Hopefully this can be the start of a fruitful collaboration among/between divisions and discussion about the inclusion of Global South/2/3rds world scholars into leadership and decision making structures of the AOM.


    all my best, Banu

    Dear Banu

    Thank you very much to those of you who participated in the CMS Division member survey on the US travel ban and the AOM response to it. We had 105 responses. Here is a link to the document containing all of your comments, ideas and suggestions:

    http://cms.aom.org/wp-content/uploads/CMS-Division-Travel-Ban-report-survey.pdf

    We have used this as a basis for a statement of intended action:

    CMS Division statement of intended action

    Feedback from CMS Division membership overwhelmingly condemns the AOM President's statement as inadequate. The travel ban is perceived by many as fundamentally unethical in terms of the AOM's own Code of Ethics. The travel ban, and failure to speak out against it, also runs contrary to the domain statement of the CMS Division as an academic community that challenges racial inequality and discrimination through scholarship and education. Among those affected by the ban are CMS Division members, including some who may be prevented from attending the 2017 Annual Meeting. As a member-led organization, we see it as our responsibility to act in solidarity with our members. We therefore propose to use this document as a basis from which to challenge the adequacy of the AOM response to the travel ban, and to work with other AOM Divisions to call for change in the interests of our members. 

    Building on the views expressed by CMS Division members in our survey, we propose to:

    ·         Call on the AOM Board to revise their position on the Executive Order, including via online petition;

    ·         Call on the AOM Board for an immediate removal of the AOM Policy on Taking Political Stands which prevents officers and leaders (including within Divisions) from taking publicly stated political stands on any issue;

    ·         Call on the AOM Board for an Emergency Open Meeting at the start of the 2017 AOM meeting, in place of the Welcome Reception, to discuss the Executive Order and the AOM President's response to it and to ask for an account of the process through which this response was assembled;

    ·         Work together with Executive groups and members of other Divisions/SIGs towards action on these issues;

    ·         We are committed to providing the PDW and Main Programs at the 2017 meeting and to run the 2017 CMS Division Elections, to honor the colleagues who have worked to write and submit their work to AOM who still wish to attend and present. We will also work to expand scope for virtual participation and argue for fee waivers for those affected by the travel ban;

    ·         If insufficient progress is made towards change on these issues, we commit to returning to CMS Division membership to canvas further, especially on collective, up to and including the possibility of a boycott or Division disbanding.

    Banu, thank you so much for sharing this. 

    We are in the process of surveying our GDO members as well (I believe the survey is going out very soon) as we, like CMS, wanted to hear from our members before we issued a statement. 

    Useful and interesting to hear the responses you received. 

    Speaking only personally, my view is we need to ensure that AOM needs to take action against the horrible situation we find ourselves in. Clearly, this is an issue that goes far beyond the US borders and hurts our brothers and sister across the world.

    I believe CMS had the MED response as well, along with our call to action to the Academy leadership.
