The House Committee on Education and Workforce is investigating the APA over allegations of antisemitism. The ADL report referenced in the letter, 2025 Academic Association Integrity Index: The State of Antisemitism in Professional Academic Associations (ADL, 2025), does not mention the American Library Association. Has the ALA improved on its issues with previous anti-Israel resolutions?

We foster an environment where all members can participate freely, without experiencing discrimination. Some of our Jewish members and community organizations have voiced concerns about antisemitism within the broader psychology field and within APA's divisions. We have taken and continue to take those concerns seriously. APA has been actively addressing these concerns as part of our long-standing commitment to building a more equitable and just society. When allegations have been raised, we have addressed them (PDF, 241KB)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://click.info.apa.org/?qs=9e2eb6b03189ec21edb83ee11edb0d2244595a7345b501d156f381c60c151473fa618a055cf729b2cc6d1999dce27855dd4e014c77a83e95__;!!KGKeukY!0lsKxtAAKSsi-EE2FPoZjBDXqXkaKViNdGZ0EYh9LOL3qr-8nlWtD_NZAhhy93oNixwbe_U0dXrpfzwIbRHHwA$ >. In the next few weeks, we will be working to get the committee up to speed on all the steps APA has taken, and continues to take, to uphold our values and support all members of our community.
