So it turns out that the Harvard instructor who invited Charles Murray to speak in his class also blogs under a pseudonym and... it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect...

Most of his posts involve him offering an in-depth commentary about events at Williams College, where he graduated from in 1988 but doesn't seem to have any current affiliation...

Here he is mocking a "Diversity, Inclusion, Race Equity" meeting

In another shocking turn of events, he also has Opinions About Sexual Assault, which he shares under both his pseudonym and his real name:

And here he is, wondering "why Identity Evropa is unacceptable at Williams while, say, Black Lives Matter and BDS are OK. All three organizations have problematic, even hateful, members."

Reminder: Identity Evropa is a white supremacist group.

Oh yeah, there's also... whatever tf this is.

(Once again, I must remind you: This was written by a *middle-aged man*. Who is, for some reason, blogging about his undergraduate alma mater.)

I don't really care about this guy's personal political views. But by inviting Charles Murray as a visiting speaker for a class on *how to analyze data*, I think it's clear that he is choosing to indulge his own political preferences at the expense of student learning.

One more to add to the list: David Kane, writing under his pseudonym, linked to an article about racial IQ differences on the white supremacist website VDARE, saying "[i]t is the best overview of the issues involved with this topic that I could find".

While the VDARE link is now dead, based on the comments it appears to be a post by Steve Sailer.

Steve Sailer is a white supremacist.

VDARE is a white supremacist website. This is an example of the type of posts you are likely to find there:

David Kane has been embarrassing Harvard for over a decade! In 2006 he wrote a post which had to be removed from the @IQSS website due to errors. In 2007 he wrote a paper that made basic statistical errors.
