Cuban academics denied visas by U.S.
Some 55 philosophers, economists, and historians were told last week they'd be unable to travel to this month's Latin American Studies Association congress in San Juan. Visa requests for four academics were still pending, said Sheryl Lutjens, an American political science professor at Northern Arizona University. ''These people represent strong scholars who think critically and who are often experts in their area where there are no others,'' said Lutjens, who co-chairs the association's Cuba section and is currently visiting the country. "This is alarming.'' Fewer American scholars are traveling to Cuba, too, wary of complicated U.S. rules that can lead to hefty fines and punishment if broken. ''They have been dissuaded by the new regulations,'' Lutjens said of other professors and researchers. "People are, I think, confused and perhaps even frightened by the thought that they might be doing something that's not permitted.''
