New message from Harvard President Claudine Gay:

“Our university embraces a commitment to free expression. That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous. We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views.”
Listen to how the Harvard community treated Carole Hooven. Has anyone apologized?

Pamela Paul has written an excellent op-ed critiquing the ascendency of Ibram Kendi’s brand of antiracism.

Just for fun, let’s look back at some of the coverage Kendi has received in the NYT during the last few years.

🧵 Image
January 2017:

I believe this is Kendi’s first op-ed for the NYT (written after Stamped from the Beginning won a National Book Award): Image
February 2017:

Kendi’s antiracist reading list and a corresponding podcast appearance (Paul mentions these in her article):

“This ‘is potentially going to blow up.’”

👀

I’ve obtained a document that appears to detail anonymous allegations made about Kendi and his center in 2021.

The person alleges “a pattern of silence and secrecy” and claims employees were “afraid of going against Dr. Kendi.”

🧵 Image
The anonymous reporter, a faculty member, also alleges Kendi was “using tenure as a ‘pressure point’ to get Junior faculty to work for him” even though he didn’t “have any control over their tenure cases.” Image
The faculty member alleges “frequent resignations and extremely high turnover because of employee morale.”

This person apparently said, "there are at least 3 if not 4 women of color who have this week resigned or are on the brink of resignation. It's getting really bad." Image

Stanford has updated its third admissions essay prompt:

“Please describe what aspects of your life experiences, interests and character would help you make a distinctive contribution as an undergraduate to Stanford University.” Image
Here is what the prompt said last year:

“Tell us about something that is meaningful to you and why.” Image
University of Miami:

“embraces diversity and inclusivity in all its forms and strives to create a culture of belonging.”

“Please describe how your unique experiences, challenges overcome, or skills acquired would contribute to our distinctive University community.” Image

California Community Colleges:

Merit:

- “is embedded in the ideology of Whiteness”

-“protects White privilege under the guise of standards”

-“implies that White people are deemed better qualified and more worthy” Image
Also, no student is ever responsible for his or her shortcomings.

And don’t call students “underprepared or disadvantaged” or talk about “learning styles” or an “achievement gap.” Image

The overall number of students who say a professor should be reported for saying something they find offensive is 74%. Image
Students were also asked whether a professor should be reported for making certain statements.

40% said a professor should be reported for saying “there is no evidence of anti-black bias in police shootings.” Image

A day after @realchrisrufo posted this video, Chemerinsky co-authored an op-ed arguing that DEI statements aren’t ideological litmus tests.

He says they “simply ask candidates to describe how they would effectively teach a diverse student body.”

Neither claim is true.

🧵
A current Berkeley Law job ad states: “Successful candidates will demonstrate knowledge and skill related to ensuring equity and inclusion in the activities of their academic position (e.g., teaching, research, and service, as applicable).”
So, already that’s more than teaching. It includes research and service.
