Abstract

When the same library worker who recorded the chat tried to file a complaint against Eledge with the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, an investigator told her in January that because some of Eledge's discriminatory remarks were directed against LGBTQ+ people, the agency would not investigate. When the Anchorage Library Advisory Board next met, on June 15, 2022, Human Resources Director Tshibaka sat beside Eledge wearing a T-shirt that said "I'm with Judy." Cole is one of at least three library employees who quit while Eledge served as the de facto director, and who later filed complaints with the city. Alaska governors and mayors have at various times appointed Judy Eledge to the state Board of Education, the Anchorage Health and Human Services Commission and the Alaska Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee.
