The Medieval Academy of America announced today that its 2011 annual meeting will still be held in Arizona. The academic organization was under pressure to move the conference because of the recent immigration law adopted by the state.
An email was sent out to its membership and posted the Medieval Academy of America?s (MAA) website, which stated the MAA?s Executive Committee took into account a number of issues when making their decision, including the ?fiduciary responsibility for the Academy?s endowment, the appropriateness of making collective political statements, the precedents that would be set if the Academy canceled the meeting, the scholarly effects of canceling the annual meeting, the work done by the Arizona programming committee, the difficulty of finding any alternative meeting place, the timing of cancellation, and the possibility of legal challenge to Arizona?s legislation.?
