At the recent 2017 Board of Trustee meeting in San Jose, CA the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to issue the following statement:
The Economic History Association prides itself on its openness to all, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or religion. The EHA embraces a spirit of respect and tolerance to foster collegiality and to encourage and develop graduate students and faculty.
The values exhibited on the internet message board, Economics Job Market Rumors, are antithetical to those we embrace. The Board of Trustees condemns unequivocally the abusive language on the EJMR site, including but not limited to the sexist, racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic statements. This type of language has no place in academic debate and discourse.
The following EHA members and conference attendees have joined the Board in their support of this statement:
