Summary

A librarian at The Ohio State University, Mansfield, was placed under investigation for sexual harassment after he suggested a book (e.g., David Kupelian’sThe Marketing of Evil) for the University’s first-year reading experience. Some faculty members claimed that this was “anti-gay” and constituted harassment. ADF sent two demand letters to the University, which subsequently dropped the charges.
