I'm deeply disappointed in @DataCamp leadership, and cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to my students. Questionable ethics at tech companies are sadly common, but it hits especially close to home when it happens at an education company that I worked with & promoted. (1/5)
This means:
1. My @Coursera course no longer offers option for #rstats labs via @DataCamp.This years-long collaboration represents hard work by @DukeLearning+DataCamp staff to provide browser-based R access for thousands of learners,fruits of this effort will now go unused(2/5)

2. I'm working w/ @jo_hardin47+@BaumerBen+Andrew Bray to make our course content available elsewhere.Meanwhile, don’t take these courses on DataCamp. As @noamross put it so well “We can't change behavior without incentives, and for companies those incentives are financial."(3/5)
If you're unfamiliar with what prompted this, see twitter.com/i/moments/1120… for a collection of relevant tweets, press articles, blog posts, and links to non-DataCamp learning resources for #rstats and #python. (4/5)
Huge 🙏 to all who have poured endless hours into making the #rstats community safe, welcoming, inclusive & trying to help DataCamp make better decisions after an unacceptable sexual misconduct incident. And shame on DataCamp leadership for failing to address this properly. (5/5)
