  • 1- YALSA Board of Directors Meeting ALA Annual Conference, New
    YALSA Board of Directors – Annual 2018 Topic: Book Awards & Lists in Light of #MeToo Item #34 YALSA Board of Directors Meeting ALA Annual Conference, New Orleans June 22 – 26, 2018 Topic: Book Awards & Lists in Light of #MeToo Background: In May 2018 an issue arose on the Odyssey Committee related to the #MeToo movement. One Odyssey member informed their chair that they were not going to listen to any titles from a particular author who had been accused of harassment. Given the gravity of the issue of sexual harassment and assault, YALSA’s Board may want to consider whether any action should be taken at this time, especially when considering this issue and how it interplays with the principles of intellectual freedom. Board member Sarah Hill offers this document for discussion. Action Required: Discussion The #MeToo movement exploded in Fall 2017, when women and some men collectively began to speak out against abusers and harassers. The movement carried over to the young adult publishing world in February 2018 via an article in School Library Journal that led to hundreds of comments to the article indicating certain authors and publisher representatives as harassers or abusers. YALSA and its board extend their compassion to those harmed by abusers and harassers and commends those for speaking up, while at the same time also extending support to those who were also harmed but remain silent. Publishers, agents and organizations are responding by canceling book deals, author visits, issuing statements, rescinding awards and more. In a New York Times interview, Stephen Rubin, the president of Holt, said, “The corporate stance is that it’s not our job to judge our authors.” However, other publishers are implementing ethics clauses into their author contracts.
