From an American Studies Association press release: “In recent days, several erroneous reports have circulated claiming that the American Studies Association (ASA), the nation’s oldest and largest association devoted to the interdisciplinary study of American culture and history, will bar Israeli academics from participating at our upcoming annual conference in Los Angeles, November 6-9. This allegation is false. There will not be discrimination of any sort against anyone. Subsequent reports also stated, erroneously, that the ASA had changed our policy regarding support for the academic boycott. We have not.”
