At this point I’m sure most people in the library world have heard of the fiasco surrounding ALA and its treatment of April Hathcock (read the details in her own words first).  I wanted to bring this article from Inside Higher Ed to everyone’s attention. It is a pretty thorough and faithful account. It is a shameful display and unfortunately, putting policies in place will only get our profession so far. We should all take time to reflect on how our daily praxis reflects the ethics of our profession.
Thanks to Sheila for bringing April’s blog post to my attention.
