A posting on ACRLog last evening speaks to the ongoing controversy concerning a librarian being cleared of sexual harassment charges concerning his book suggestions for a freshman reading course: OSU Mansfield Librarian Cleared of Harassment Charges. This story, discussed in a previous post from Inside HigherEd, was also mentioned in an ACRLog post on April 14, Reference Librarian at Center of Controversy Over Common Reading Experience.
The differences between comments on both blogs is stark. The Inside Higher Ed blog had comments still being posted almost ten days later. The ACRLog had fewer, and kinder, comments posted up until a week ago. Were the library professionals on ACRL's blog more sympathetic? More empathetic? I thought so.
