Dr. Emily Landon is an<a href="https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/find-a-physician/physician/emily-landon" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago.</a> Landon specializes in infectious diseases and is a leader of the “academic health system’s infection control and prevention efforts.”
Dr. Landon was featured in a September 2022 BuzzFeed News article titled<a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katiecamero/is-the-pandemic-really-over" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “No, The Pandemic Isn’t Really Over. Here’s Why.”</a> The article was in response to President Biden’s September 18 interview with 60 Minutes where he said: “The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over.” Landon stated:
“The problem with Biden’s message is that it doubles down on this idea that we don’t really need to worry about COVID anymore … That messaging discourages people from keeping their vigilance up; it discourages people from putting on a mask in a high-risk situation; and it discourages people from getting those really essential boosters.”
 She continued:
“I really don’t think that people are quite as fatigued by the pandemic as they are of change. And while there’s still going to be some change to come, I think we have to do what we can to soothe and ameliorate the changes by avoiding saying things like the pandemic is over, which just creates whiplash.”
<a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/meet-dr-emily-landon-the-face-of-uchicagos-anti-science-covid-decrees/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Thinker</a> reports that Landon “crassly and inappropriately mocks the unvaccinated, retweeting posts that depict them as being low-class and incapable of independent research.”

<a href="https://history.uchicago.edu/directory/bruce-cumings">Dr. Bruce Cumings</a> is a Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Chicago. Dr. Cumings placed most of the blame of North Korea’s problems on the United States, while also whitewashing problems in Korea.  For example, Cumings denies the existence of a massive famine in North Korea in the 1990s. Cumings blames the United States for North Korea’s problems, not Communism.

<a href="https://globalstudies.uchicago.edu/people/rebecca-journey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rebecca Journey</a> is a Teaching Fellow in the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. Journey teaches a course in the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies program titled “The Problem of Whiteness.”

The <a href="http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/comparativeraceethnicstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> states “whiteness has long functioned as an “unmarked” racial category” and has “resurfaced as a conspicuous problem within liberal political discourse.” The seminar will examine “the problem of whiteness through an anthropological lens, drawing from classic and contemporary works of critical race theory.”

Daniel Schmidt, a sophomore student at the University of Chicago, <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/uchicago-professor-seeks-discipline-action-against-student-who-exposed-her-racist-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared details about the course</a> in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RealDSchmidt/status/1587557829476777984" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter thread</a> that went viral.

<img class="size-full wp-image-2700 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-09-at-8.53.53-AM.png" alt="" width="598" height="816" />

After the post, Journey claims she received death threats and was the victim of online harassment. According to the <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/education/2022/11/19/23467967/whiteness-course-triggers-online-harassment-death-threats-university-chicago-instructor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Sun-Times</a>, Journey defended the course saying, “The class is emphatically not about ‘the problem with white people.’ The class approaches whiteness as a problem in the philosophical sense of an open question …[with] whiteness as an object of critical inquiry.”

Professor Journey believes that Schmidt “deliberately misrepresented” her course “to stoke white grievance on social media:”
“I want to stress that these attacks are the direct consequence of this student’s targeted cyberbullying campaign. This was a malicious attack not just on me as a teacher but on anti-racist pedagogy writ large.” 
The University of Chicago issued a statement supporting Journey and the “freedom of instructors to teach any course that has been developed through our faculty-led curricular process.” However, Journey is calling for disciplinary action against Schmidt, saying the university should issue a public condemnation of the student’s actions.

The course is scheduled to begin in Spring 2023.

<a href="https://divinity.uchicago.edu/directory/olivia-bustion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Bustion</a> is a doctoral theology candidate and Martin Marty Center Fellow at the University of Chicago. Bustion is teaching an autumn 2023 course through the Religious Studies Department titled, “<a href="http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/religiousstudies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering God</a>.”

The course <a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/is-god-queer-uchicagos-religious-studies-department-wants-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promises to discuss questions</a> such as: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Can God be an ally in queer worldmaking?”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Is God queer?” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“What does queerness have to do with Judaism, Christianity, or Islam?” </li>
</ul>
Further, the course description reads:
“This course introduces students to foundational concepts in queer and trans studies by focusing on queer Jewish, Christian, and Islamic theologies. We will analyze the ways that contemporary artists, activists, and scholars are using theology to reimagine gender and experiment with new relational forms. Our readings will include a variety of genres: memoir, letters, scriptural interpretation, and a novel.” 
<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/is-god-queer-university-of-chicago-course-asks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> wrote about Bastion’s University of Michigan doctoral thesis that “focused on the homosexual tendencies of a British poet named W.H. Auden.” Her paper was titled “<a href="https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/96141/obustion_1.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering the City of God</a>” and her “thesis relied on the work of Leo Bersani, an essayist who published a collection titled ‘Is the Rectum a Grave?’”
“Auden, according to the thesis, wrote a ‘prayer [that] gives gay sex a place in Christian worship. In her thesis, she ‘examines key moments in Auden’s conceptualization of a calling the aligns the charism of same-sex eros with anti-imperialist prophetic critique—from the prayerful question of ‘In Sickness and in Health’ to the playful answer of ‘The Garrison.’” 
The College Fix argues:
“The problem with the course is not just its fundamentally flawed assertion that God could be ‘queer,’ but that it is given an air of respectability by the University of Chicago.”

<a href="https://humdev.uchicago.edu/directory/Eman-Abdelhadi" rel="noopener">Eman Abdelhadi</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago. Her research interests include religion, gender, identity, and demography.

After Hamas terrorists attacked Israel in October 2023, Abdelhadi <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=24238" rel="noopener">signed a statement</a> titled, “Writers in Solidarity with Palestine.” The letter begins, “We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of ‘Israel’ and the violent settler colonial apartheid state.”

Some of the letter’s claims include: 

“The west is actively backing the ongoing settler colonial project that endorses either a slow or fast genocide, but is genocide either way.”
“Any form of Palestinian resistance is in no way equivalent to the daily violence of ‘Israeli’ settlers, the IOF (‘Israeli’ Occupying Forces), and the entire ‘Israeli’ state apparatus. Palestinian resistance exists because settler colonial occupation exists.” 
“The resistance is an ongoing response to a long history of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.” 
“Politicians at all levels of government internationally, primarily those in the west, are deliberately weaponizing islamophobic and orientalist language in order to manufacture consent for genocide in Palestine, heighten surveillance and policing domestically, and suppress any manner of showing solidarity with Palestine.” 

The writers end with several “calls to action” for the signatories and their institutions, including: 

“To stand in firm, vocal, and unwavering solidarity with Palestinian resistance against their occupation until liberation, by amplifying Palestinian voices in a time of mass disinformation and silencing; and by openly discussing the occupation in your workplace, home, on social media, in your work.” 
“To boycott all other literary institutions who profess Zionist affiliations.” 
“To engage with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, a Palestinian-led movement to end international support for ‘Israel’s’ oppression of Palestinians and all institutions complicit in ‘Israeli’ apartheid and settler colonialism.” 

The statement has since been removed but can still be found on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231019194337/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UVp2E4VoBgXTOYDs6BAAWI8fiaEUqFLOHoN50LKy4oI/edit" rel="noopener">internet archives</a>.

Nikole Hannah-Jones is the inaugural Knight Chair of Race and Reporting at Howard University in Washington D.C.
Hannah-Jones is best known as one of the primary authors of The 1619 Project. <a href="https://archive.org/details/1619project/full_issue_of_the_1619_project">Published in July of 2019 by The New York Times Magazine</a>, The 1619 Project is a series of reports and essays that purport to document the origins of and lingering effects of racism in America. The stated intent for the project is to establish 1619–the first year that slaves were brought to the British Colonies in America–as the true founding of the United States, rather than 1776. The project’s central thesis alleges that slavery and racism are the basis out of which the United States was created.<a href="https://pulitzercenter.org/blog/nikole-hannah-jones-wins-pulitzer-prize-1619-project"> Hannah-Jones was awarded The Pulitzer Prize</a> for her work on the project. Since its publication, The 1619 Project and its authors have faced a myriad of problems, including accusations of controversial hiring tactics, false claims, and shoddy research.
Hannah-Jones elicited controversy for the publication and retraction of false information in her articles and unearthed racially incendiary remarks.
&#8211; Shortly after the publication of the report, Hannah-Jones admitted that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/18/reader-center/1619-project-slavery-jamestown.html">hiring almost exclusively black staff was a “non-negotiable”</a> aspect when beginning to work on the 1619 issue of The New York Times Magazine.
&#8211; One of Hannah-Jones’ central claims—“that one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery”—<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/">was retracted by the paper in early 2020</a>.
&#8211; In January 2020, <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/inclusive-case-1776-not-1619/604435/">numerous historians, scholars, and commentators—both conservatives and socialists</a>— as cited by The Atlantic criticized The New York Times and The 1619 Project for publishing false information about American history and slavery.
&#8211; In October 2020, <a href="https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/pulitzer-board-must-revoke-nikole-hannah-jones-prize">accomplished professors and intellectuals penned an open letter</a> calling on “the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind the 2020 Prize for Commentary awarded to Nikole Hannah-Jones for her lead essay in The 1619 Project” because “&#8230; the article itself was false when written, making a large claim that protecting the institution of slavery was a primary motive for the American Revolution, a claim for which there is simply no evidence.”
Bret Stephens, a columnist for The New York Times and colleague of Hannah-Jones,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201105003122/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/opinion/nyt-1619-project-criticisms.html"> rebuffed the 1619 Project,</a> writing in October 2020 that “Journalists are, most often, in the business of writing the first rough draft of history, not trying to have the last word on it. We are best when we try to tell truths with a lowercase t, following evidence in directions unseen, not the capital-T truth of a pre-established narrative in which inconvenient facts get discarded.”
By late 2020, both Hannah-Jones’ claims and The 1619 Project as a whole began receiving scrutiny–<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/inclusive-case-1776-not-1619/604435/">from both the Left and Right</a>–on a near-daily occurrence. Hannah-Jones then falsely <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">stated that The 1619 Project never claimed that 1619 was America’s true founding</a>, despite the fact that the allegation was printed on the front pages of the issue and was repeated numerous times in televised and print interviews.

&nbsp;
Hannah-Jones attracted further scrutiny over a racially explicit op-ed that she had written as a student at Notre Dame University in 1996. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/25/in-racist-screed-nyts-1619-project-founder-calls-white-race-barbaric-devils-bloodsuckers-no-different-than-hitler/">As reported by The Federalist</a>, Mrs. Hannah-Jones described white people as “bloodsuckers” and accused the white race of being the “biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief, of the modern world.” She alleges in the same article that Africans arrived in the Americas “long before Columbus or any Europeans,” and that Christopher Columbus was “no different than Hitler.”

Hannah-Jones was originally <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=17529">offered the position of Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism and Professor of the Practice</a> at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Activists and later Hannah-Jones accused the university of racism for withholding tenure. When the University finally bowed to the pressure and <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/07/06/nikole-hannah-jones-denies-tenure-at-unc-accepts-howard-role/">offered to meet her demands, Jones refused and accepted a similar position at Howard University.</a>

Joy Reid–host of The Reid Out on MSNBC– is a Hearst Visiting Professor at Howard University in Washington DC. Reid is known to launch into partisan diatribes during broadcasts and regularly uses her platform to berate conservatives.

During the riots in the summer of 2020 following the death of George Floyd, Reid has claimed there is “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzPloMpG2EM&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">zero evidence</a>” that any of the destruction was connected to the movement. She has claimed that when there was any violence, it was inflicted by “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzPloMpG2EM&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">white supremacists</a>” and Trump supporters.

It is reported that there was a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">significant presence</a> by BLM activists at over 95% of the riots during the summer of 2020, resulting in at least 47 deaths and over <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">2 billion</a> in damages.

Reid has <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/msnbc-joy-reid-labels-justice-150310965.html">referred to Justice Clarence Thomas as “Uncle Clarence,”</a> a reference to the racial epithet “Uncle Tom” when discussing his court rulings.

Following the <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/james-hodgkinson-shooting-republicans-baseball-game">2017 congressional baseball shooting</a>, Reid and her guest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGQEdDySUVI&amp;ab_channel=MSNBC">mocked the victims for holding insufficiently liberal positions</a>. She accused Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise of racism while he was fighting for his life after the attack.

In 2018, blog posts were unearthed from Reid’s old website that contained inflammatory language, bigoted statements, and<a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/joy-reid-reportedly-once-touted-notorious-9-11-conspiracy-film/"> links to conspiracies that accused the United States government of plotting the 9/11 terror attacks</a>. <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/04/24/msnbc-stars-lame-excuse-after-homophobic-remarks-surface/?_ga=2.40761378.1834013034.1527547273-216432594.1517259352">Reid alleged that many members of Congress were secretly gay</a>, and <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/msnbc-host-joy-reid-criticized-jews-ariel-sharon-in-old-blog-posts/">openly mocked Jews</a>.

Once the blog was unearthed and began receiving media attention, Reid initially acknowledged that she had written the posts and apologized for her “bigoted remarks.” However, once additional posts surfaced, Reid reversed her position and claimed that she had never written the blog posts to begin with. Reid claimed on national television that <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/watch-msnbc-s-joy-reid-address-offensive-blog-posts-1221485635964">she “genuinely does not believe that“ she wrote the posts</a> and alleged that her blog was hacked. After her statement, cyber-security experts confirmed that there <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/04/the-evidence-is-not-with-joy-reid/558935/">was little evidence of Reid’s blog ever being breached</a>.

Reid<a href="https://newsroom.howard.edu/newsroom/article/13601/award-winning-msnbc-news-anchor-joy-reid-joins-howard-university-2021-hearst"> currently teaches a journalism class titled “Covering Race, Gender, and Politics in the Digital Age”</a>. Reid plans to teach journalism students how to navigate “partisanship and political division.”
“Particularly in this era of virtual media, and deep partisanship and political division, it’s never been more important that journalists incorporate a thorough and honest historical context in our coverage. I can’t wait to interact with the brilliant students at Howard and share ideas with them on how we as an industry can be better and do better.”

Nikole Hannah-Jones is the inaugural Knight Chair of Race and Reporting at Howard University in Washington D.C.

Hannah-Jones is best known as one of the primary authors of The 1619 Project. <a href="https://archive.org/details/1619project/full_issue_of_the_1619_project">Published in July of 2019 by The New York Times Magazine</a>, The 1619 Project is a series of reports and essays that purport to document the origins of and lingering effects of racism in America. The stated intent for the project is to establish 1619–the first year that slaves were brought to the British Colonies in America–as the true founding of the United States, rather than 1776. The project’s central thesis alleges that slavery and racism are the basis out of which the United States was created.<a href="https://pulitzercenter.org/blog/nikole-hannah-jones-wins-pulitzer-prize-1619-project"> Hannah-Jones was awarded The Pulitzer Prize</a> for her work on the project. Since its publication, The 1619 Project and its authors have faced a myriad of problems, including accusations of controversial hiring tactics, false claims, and shoddy research.

Hannah-Jones elicited controversy for the publication and retraction of false information in her articles and unearthed racially incendiary remarks.

- Shortly after the publication of the report, Hannah-Jones admitted that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/18/reader-center/1619-project-slavery-jamestown.html">hiring almost exclusively black staff was a “non-negotiable”</a> aspect when beginning to work on the 1619 issue of The New York Times Magazine.

- One of Hannah-Jones’ central claims—“that one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery”—<a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/">was retracted by the paper in early 2020</a>.

- In January 2020, <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/inclusive-case-1776-not-1619/604435/">numerous historians, scholars, and commentators—both conservatives and socialists</a>— as cited by The Atlantic criticized The New York Times and The 1619 Project for publishing false information about American history and slavery.

- In October 2020, <a href="https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/pulitzer-board-must-revoke-nikole-hannah-jones-prize">accomplished professors and intellectuals penned an open letter</a> calling on “the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind the 2020 Prize for Commentary awarded to Nikole Hannah-Jones for her lead essay in The 1619 Project” because “... the article itself was false when written, making a large claim that protecting the institution of slavery was a primary motive for the American Revolution, a claim for which there is simply no evidence.”

Bret Stephens, a columnist for The New York Times and colleague of Hannah-Jones,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201105003122/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/opinion/nyt-1619-project-criticisms.html"> rebuffed the 1619 Project,</a> writing in October 2020 that “Journalists are, most often, in the business of writing the first rough draft of history, not trying to have the last word on it. We are best when we try to tell truths with a lowercase t, following evidence in directions unseen, not the capital-T truth of a pre-established narrative in which inconvenient facts get discarded.”

By late 2020, both Hannah-Jones’ claims and The 1619 Project as a whole began receiving scrutiny–<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/inclusive-case-1776-not-1619/604435/">from both the Left and Right</a>–on a near-daily occurrence. Hannah-Jones then falsely <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/">stated that The 1619 Project never claimed that 1619 was America’s true founding</a>, despite the fact that the allegation was printed on the front pages of the issue and was repeated numerous times in televised and print interviews.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1411 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-3.02.53-PM-1024x332.png" alt="" width="580" height="188" /> <img class="size-large wp-image-1412 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-3.04.09-PM-1024x332.png" alt="" width="580" height="188" />

&nbsp;

Hannah-Jones attracted further scrutiny over a racially explicit op-ed that she had written as a student at Notre Dame University in 1996. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/25/in-racist-screed-nyts-1619-project-founder-calls-white-race-barbaric-devils-bloodsuckers-no-different-than-hitler/">As reported by The Federalist</a>, Mrs. Hannah-Jones described white people as “bloodsuckers” and accused the white race of being the “biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief, of the modern world.” She alleges in the same article that Africans arrived in the Americas “long before Columbus or any Europeans,” and that Christopher Columbus was “no different than Hitler.”

&nbsp;

Hannah-Jones was originally <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=17529">offered the position of Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism and Professor of the Practice</a> at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Activists and later Hannah-Jones accused the university of racism for withholding tenure. When the University finally bowed to the pressure and <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/07/06/nikole-hannah-jones-denies-tenure-at-unc-accepts-howard-role/">offered to meet her demands, Jones refused and accepted a similar position at Howard University.</a>

<a href="https://thedig.howard.edu/all-stories/two-iconic-american-writers-join-howard-create-center-help-educate-next-generation-black-journalists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ta-Nehisi Coates</a> is an incoming professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at Howard University. He currently serves as a <a href="https://journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/news-post/2017/01/30/author-ta-nehisi-coates-join-faculty-nyus-carter-journalism-institute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty member</a> in the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. 

Coates spent much of his professional career writing for The Atlantic as a national correspondent. In 2014, he penned the 16,000-word essay, “<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Case for Reparations</a>.” The polemic brands America as a “slave society” that was founded on white supremacy:
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2791 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Copy-of-Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-e1674086331183-1024x374.png" alt="" width="640" height="234" />
No American is spared from this indictment, Coates argues, as the legacy of racism extends to each white citizen: 
“The crime indicts the American people themselves, at every level, and in nearly every configuration. A crime that implicates the entire American people deserves its hearing in the legislative body that represents them.” 
Coates has further <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-atlantic-writer-says-trump-presidency-paul-bois" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disparaged whites</a>, calling their votes an “indispensable” effort in promoting white supremacy each election cycle: 

“When you ask yourself why majorities of white people across socioeconomic demographics, across gender lines, across education lines, would endorse someone who only had whiteness to offer and all you come to is tribalism. That’s all that’s left.”

Coates is most <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/ta-nehisi-coates-who-called-9-11-responders-menaces-of-nature-to-speak-at-west-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infamously</a> known for his 2001 book, <a href="https://ta-nehisicoates.com/books/between-the-world-and-me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Between the World and Me</a>, where he describes 9/11 first responders as sub-human and “menaces of nature:” 

“They were not human to me…Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could – with no justification – shatter my body.”

While producing a series of Captain America comics, Coates allegedly depicted popular academic <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/6/jordan-b-peterson-stunned-by-red-skull-hit-job-in-/">Jordan Peterson as the demagogic, fascist Red Skull</a>. 

Widely acclaimed on the left for his work, Coates was awarded a <a href="https://www.macfound.org/fellows/class-of-2015/ta-nehisi-coates#searchresults" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MacArthur Genius Grant</a> in 2015. The “no-strings-attached” program gifted <a href="https://www.macfound.org/programs/fellows/strategy">$800,000</a> to Coates for “Interpreting complex and challenging issues around race and racism through the lens of personal experience and nuanced historical analysis.

<a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/bobo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lawrence D. Bobo</a> is the Dean of Social Science and the W.E.B. Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. His faculty profile also says he served as the Chair of the Department of African and African-American Studies, and his research focuses on the “intersection of social psychology, social inequality, politics, and race.”
In June 2020, <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/lawrence-d-bobo-examines-police-killings-of-black-men/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Gazette published a Q &amp; A</a> titled “The Fire This Time.” The subheading says, “[Bobo] dissects police killings of Black men and the history and cognitive forces behind racial bigotry and violence, and why he sees signs of hope.”
The Gazette asked, “In the majority of police-related killings of Black people, the assailants are white. Is that enough to conclude that racism is the cause, or are their other causes also at work?” Bobo responded,
“Certainly racism, and both the historic legacy of racism and the long, deeply etched legacy of racism in terms of our current social conditions and circumstances…have been profoundly distorted by racism.”
He continued,
“It’s really important to recall that what slavery did…was to forge a tight link between our social class structure and a kind of racial hierarchy. It created a bottom rung of people who were racially stigmatized and in the deepest economic disadvantage and poverty.”
Bobo co-authored a book entitled, “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Racial_Attitudes_in_America/mPOWMEEKpY0C?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Racial+Attitudes+in+America&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Attitudes in America: Trends and Interpretations</a>.” Chapter 3: Trends in White Racial Attitudes discusses six questions surrounding trends “of how white racial attitudes changed over the past half-century.” Regarding affirmative action, Bobo et al., stated,
“The first affirmative action steps had been attempts to eliminate what came to be called ‘institutional racism’&#8230;A second, more active type of affirmative step was to devote government funds to improving the lives of black Americans…Finally, a third and still more dramatic step was to give preference to blacks in employment and educational situations, as a way of…accelerating the move toward equality of outcomes.” 
Bobo was named among the “Top 10 Black Sociologists from the last 30 Years” in a publication from <a href="https://academicinfluence.com/rankings/people/black-scholars/sociologists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academic Influence</a>. Bobo’s profile is dated from 1900-present [sic], ranks him #79,953 “Most Influential Person,” and links to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_D._Bobo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob’s Wikipedia page</a>. Harvard’s Department of Sociology issued a “wholehearted endorsement” of <a href="https://sociology.fas.harvard.edu/sites/hwpi.harvard.edu/files/sociology/files/george_floyd_and_our_times.pdf?m=1591301322" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bobo’s statement on the death of George Floyd</a> in which Bobo said he was “encouraged by the level of mass mobilization and civil protest[s]” that took place across the United States and around the world.

<a href="https://www.gse.harvard.edu/directory/faculty/danielle-allen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danielle Allen</a> is a Professor of Government at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Allen’s profile says “she is Founder and President for Partners In Democracy, where she continues to advocate for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy and drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all.”

In 2016, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/moment-of-truth-we-must-stop-trump/2016/02/21/0172e788-d8a7-11e5-925f-1d10062cc82d_story.html">published an opinion editorial</a> authored by Allen. She titled the piece “The Moment of Truth: We Must Stop Trump.” She starts the article by stating:
“Like any number of us raised in the late 20th century, I have spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany. Watching Donald Trump’s rise, I now understand. Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic opportunist can exploit a divided country.”
She further parallels former President Trump and Hitler, writing:
“To understand the rise of Hitler and the spread of Nazism, I have generally relied on the German-Jewish  émigré philosopher <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0142437565/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0142437565&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thewaspos09-20&amp;linkId=PQAKLU5NRJOETRXB%22%3EThe%20Portable%20Hannah%20Arendt%20(Penguin%20Classics)%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thewaspos09-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0142437565" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah Arendt</a> and her arguments about the banality of evil.

She also <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/4/26/allen-permissible-free-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> contrasting “academic freedom” with “free expression.” She said, “Harvard’s values statement contains two guidelines that help distinguish between good and bad speech … Scholarly standards and longstanding norms from the art of rhetoric make concrete how to live by these values.”

<a href="https://divinity.wfu.edu/academics/faculty/jonathan-l-walton/">Dr. Jonathan L. Walton</a>, Dean of the School of Divinity at Wake Forest University and formerly of Harvard University, called the NRA a "domestic terrorist organization". In a sermon on campus after the Las Vegas mass shooting, Walton, who has a Ph.D. in religion and society from Princeton, blamed "Our cultural anxiety, toxic masculinity, and racial, religious, and ethnic bigotries [for] eating away at the soul of this nation," Walton later calls President Donald Trump a "Madman" who "embodies the worst aspects of our country's cultural disease."

<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/mark-tushnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Tushnet</a> is a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. According to Tushnet’s faculty profile his research interest “includes students of constitutional review in the United States and around the world and the creation of other ‘institutions for protecting constitutional democracy.’”

In May 2016, the <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/10/harvard-professor-start-treating-christians-nazis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Times</a> featured Tushnet in an article titled “Harvard professor: Start treating Christian conservatives like Nazis.” The Times said: 
“Mr. Tushnet said liberals should stop being so hesitant to advance their agenda through the judiciary, saying a majority of federal judges have been appointed by Democrat presidents, and they need not worry ‘reversal by the Supreme Court now that former Associate Justice Antonin Scalia is dead.”
Tushnet wrote a <a href="https://balkin.blogspot.com/2016/05/abandoning-defensive-crouch-liberal.html">blog post</a> that same year where he challenged readers to “abandon defensive-crouch liberalism” and to “aggressively exploit the ambiguities and loopholes in unfavorable precedents that aren’t worth overruling.”

On August 1, 2023, <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=23715" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform reported</a> that Tushnet sent an open letter to the Biden Administration wherein he “labeled the [SCOTUS] conservative majority as ‘MAGA justices,’ implying the judges have a political relationship to former President Donald Trump…”

Campus Reform noted how Tushnet “used the recent ruling on affirmative action as an example and proposed that Biden could emphasize that the ruling applies only to certain college institutions, while still vigorously pursuing affirmative action in other contexts…”

<a href="https://balkin.blogspot.com/2023/07/an-open-letter-to-biden-administration.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In the letter</a>, Tushnet states: 
“We do not believe that President Biden should simply ignore every MAGA ruling. The President should act when MAGA justices issue high-stakes rulings that are based on gravely mistaken constitutional interpretations…Such actions could help contain the grave threat posed by MAGA justices.”
He continues:
“In this particular historical moment, MAGA justices pose a grave threat to our most fundamental commitments because they rule consistently to undermine democracy and to curtail fundamental rights, and because many of their rulings are based on misleading and untrue claims.”

Dr. Michelle Morse is an internal medicine and public health doctor who, according to her <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-morse-251a0ba1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a> biography, “works to achieve health equity through global solidarity, social medicine and anti-racism education, and activism.” Her <a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty biography</a> describes her position as “an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women's Hospital and co-founder of the EqualHealth and Social Medicine Consortium.”

Morse has several, notable publications, including “<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33640157/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reparations for Black American descendants of persons enslaved in the U.S. and their potential impact on SARS-CoV-2 transmission,</a>” and “<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-health-forum/fullarticle/2789583" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Act Upon Racism- not Race- as a Risk Factor</a>.” The former publication, regarding reparations, made the claim that the United States should pursue racial-justice interventions, including reparations payments, to ameliorate racial disparities that originated through COVID-19.

According to a report by <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=23630" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Morse was featured as a keynote speaker for a medical residency graduation ceremony. <a href="https://onebrooklynhealth.org/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One Brooklyn Health</a>, a New York-based network of hospitals, held its ceremony on June 7, 2023, that included Dr. Michelle Morse as the keynote speaker for the second consecutive year.

Morse began her speech by mentioning contributors to what she called “scary times,” including:

“Misinformation about what is contained in COVID vaccines, misinformation about the ways public school teachers instruct students about our country’s violent founding and enslavement, settler colonialism, patriarchy, structural racism, or what really happened on January 6.”

She recalled her experiences during the AIDS epidemic and how it motivated her to become an “even more radicalized student activist,” and that she returned to the United States to “do more direct activism for social justice during residency.” Within the speech, she also asserted that “the current state of our country is unfair and unjust towards people of color, period.”

After the speech, a graduate attendee shared some thoughts with a Campus Reform reporter, saying that many students are discontent with the rise of woke ideology in the medical field, but are afraid to speak up because they feel as though they are “slaves to debt,” and cannot afford to risk losing their jobs by speaking out.

<a href="https://ghsm.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-staff/michelle-evelyn-morse">Michelle Evelyn Morse</a>, M.D. is a Instructor of Medicine and an Affiliate in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University.  She is also co-founder of the <a href="http://www.socialmedicineconsortium.org/campaign-against-racism/">Campaign Against Racism</a>, which describes itself as an organization that seeks to “dismantle structural racism and its effects on health around the world.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.pri.org/stories/2020-06-02/health-care-part-systems-oppression-says-harvard-medicine-professor">The World</a>, Morse outlined what she believes is structural oppression in the healthcare field. She explained how the Coronavirus is exposing divides caused by racism:

“And I think what we're seeing with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on communities of color is that these are the fault lines that have existed for generations. And the sources are the very social arrangement that puts white people on top and black and brown people on the bottom.” 

 Morse has admitted that the long-term goal of her organization is to destroy capitalism, saying, “...the systems of racial capitalism and structural racism that we're trying to impact and upend and break down are going to take much, much longer” 

Morse is also very candid about utilizing the coronavirus pandemic to accomplish her organization’s ambitions of fundamentally transforming the country: 

“We have to seize on this moment. We have to make sure that health workers are not just assumed to be the heroes of COVID-19, that we actually do the work of upending the sources of oppression that have led to these inequities and that we recognize that that takes time and that that takes constant pressure.”

<a href="https://hds.harvard.edu/people/cornel-r-west">Dr. Cornel West</a> is a former Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University and a Professor Emeritus at Princeton University. West is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and has used the organization’s platform to <a href="https://www.dsausa.org/democratic-left/cornel_west_endorses_bernie_sanders/">endorse</a> Bernie Sanders for president.  

West is known for his vocal opposition to Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14389">describing</a> him at a rally for Bernie Sanders as a “neo-fascist gangster.”

West is also notable for his mistrust of the official narrative of 9/11. As <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=5054">reported</a> by Campus Reform, he relayed his suspicion when asked if 9/11 was an inside job during the Million Muslim March in Washington D.C. “At this point, I’m still uncertain. I think there might be a possibility but my hunch is that with Bin Laden’s definitive investment, he must have had something to do with it,” explained West.

Among West’s other peculiar beliefs, he is an avowed socialist that has served as an honorary chair for the DSA. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zYAH-BZZTs">interview</a> with Laura Flanders, he praised Karl Marx for having an “indispensable” analysis of America, declaring that American capitalism forces people to live in “wage slavery.” When <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuc6C2_Txmw">challenged</a> by Tucker Carlson for his support of Socialism, most notably for its repeated and abysmal failures, West deflected and accused the US of interfering in preventing the implementation of authentic socialism in places like Venezuela.

Perhaps the most disturbing example of Dr. West’s radical beliefs is his sustained relationship and defense of notorious Nation of Islam (NOI) leader, Louis Farrakhan. 

Farrakhan is noted for his virulent and antisemitic remarks praise of Adolf Hitler made during NOI sermons:
<ul>
 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
 	<li>“The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a VERY great man.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">"...there were many Israeli’s and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">"The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">"The Jews have control over those agencies of government. When you want something in the world, a Jew holds the door."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">I'm not an anti-Semite. I'm an anti-Termite.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Despite a bevy of disgusting remarks, Dr. West continues to collaborate with and defend Farrakhan. He most recently <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfC-z80GCSk">appeared</a> with him at an event in Chicago, hosted by PBS, to discuss issues in the black community. Numerous other academics and community leaders were present. His association with Farrakhan goes back decades, as is exhibited in a lecture given at Harvard University where he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KwhXPXjjMw">flouted</a> his agreement with him that white supremacy is ingrained in America. In another lecture,  Dr. West openly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qmuSqlvWE4">admitted</a> that he works with Farrakhan. 

When <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwhYShH-pE">pressed</a> by Roland Marted about his relationship with Farrakhan, West refused to disavow him. West responded that “people need to stop lying about my brother,” and denied that Farrakhan had ever made anti-Semitic remarks. West went on to praise Farrakhan for his “consistency” on white supremacy.   

Dr. West has also openly embraced ANTIFA. <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2020/6/1/cornel_west_us_moment_of_reckoning">Appearing</a> on Democracy Now!, Dr. West claimed that ANTIFA “saved his life” when protesting in Charlottesville and lambasted the Trump administration's decision to label ANTIFA a terrorist organization:

“...ANTIFA saved my life in Charlottesville. There’s no doubt about it, that they provided the security, you see. So the very notion that they become candidates for a terrorist organization, but the people who were trying to kill us — the Nazis, the Klan — they’re not candidates for terrorist organization status — but that’s what you’re going to get. You’re going to get a Trump-led neofascist backlash and clampdown on what is going on. We ought to be very clear about that. The neofascism has that kind of obsession with militaristic imposition in the face of any kind of disorder. And so we’ve got to be fortified for that.”

Cornel West is a vocal critic of Israel. In 2014 - though aware that terrorist group Hamas was launching thousands of rockets into Israeli civilian areas - he nonetheless <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvFVnRfpj7w&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=281">accused</a> Israel of state-sponsored terrorism and urged “resistance” on behalf of the Palestinians.

<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/directory/10048/Bartholet">Elizabeth Bartholet</a> is the Morris Wasserstein Public Interest Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Child Advocacy Program at Harvard University. Bartholet’s work is primarily centered around child welfare. She <a href="https://bartholet.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/children.pdf">believes</a> that “poverty and social justice are the root causes of most child maltreatment” and that early childhood intervention by social services is needed to prevent abuse. 

Bartholet is a vocal and visceral opponent of home-schooling, describing it as “near-absolute parental power” and “inconsistent” with the human rights of children. In a <a href="https://arizonalawreview.org/pdf/62-1/62arizlrev1.pdf">paper written for the Arizona Law Review</a>, she advocates for an outright ban on homeschooling. Bartholet sees homeschooling as a danger to society, and accuses parents who decide to remove their children from public schools of promoting segregation and misogyny:  

“...parents can now keep their children at home in the name of homeschooling free from any real scrutiny as to whether or how they are educating their children. Many homeschool because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to our democracy, determined to keep their children from exposure to views that might enable autonomous choice about their future lives. Many promote racial segregation and female subservience. Many question science. Abusive parents can keep their children at home free from the risk that teachers will report them to child protection services. Some homeschool precisely for this reason.”

Bartholet repeats and expands on her position, claiming that homeschooling may lead to child abuse: 

“Parents can choose to teach that biblical truth trumps all, that all science is false science, that women should be educated to be subservient to men, that people of color are inferior to whites, that people with nontraditional sexual orientations or gender identities should be “cured” or condemned. Parents can choose to put their children to work, notwithstanding child labor laws. Parents can choose to beat their children, starve them, or chain them up…”

Bartholet then critiques the inability to enact any legislation due to the “outdated nature of the Constitution, 

“The U.S. Constitution with its negative rights structure is an anomaly, outdated and inadequate by the standards of the rest of the world Negative rights— rights to be free from state intervention—are particularly inadequate for children...The U.S. Constitution’s focus on negative rights represents an older western constitutional tradition, “increasingly out of step with emerging constitutional norms…”

Bartholet’s hostility towards homeschooling appears to stem from the fact that a disproportionate amount of these parents are conservative Christians and not progressives: 

“It is the religious ideologues who dominate the homeschooling movement...Nor is there any other significant advocacy organization designed to represent the views of the highly educated nonreligious homeschoolers, the descendants of the John Holt progressive wing of the homeschooling movement.”

Bartholet had been slated to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14850">appear</a> at a Harvard-sponsored summit that was described as an “anti-homeschooling conference.” Titled “<a href="https://cap.law.harvard.edu/homeschooling-summit-june-18-19-2020/">Homeschooling Summit: Problems, Politics, and Prospects for Reform</a>,” it has since been postponed after receiving fierce backlash.

Dr. David R. Williams is a <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/davidrwilliams/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tenured professor at Harvard University</a>. He specializes in several subjects, including Public Health, Sociology, and African American Studies. Dr. Williams has also delivered many lectures and written a substantial number of publications that discuss discrimination and racism in the United States, particularly in healthcare, and the negative health impact conservatives have on Democrats and minorities.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-1540 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-3-1-e1631047593155-1024x495.png" alt="" width="580" height="280" />

In 2016, Dr. Williams appeared in a TED Talk titled, “<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/david_r_williams_how_racism_makes_us_sick/transcript?language=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How Racism Makes Us Sick</a>”. In this 16 minute video, he discusses how stereotypes in the subconscious minds of healthcare professionals lead to lesser quality care for minorities. He attributes this to implicit biases and explains how it’s an unconscious process that occurs “even among the most well-intended individuals.” According to Williams, when a person of color is being treated by a non-minority medical professional, that provider holds unconscious and inherent biases that cause them to unknowingly provide lesser quality healthcare.

&nbsp;

A topic Dr. Williams discusses often, particularly on Twitter, is white privilege and supremacy in politics. In an <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/davidrwilliams/files/williams_medlock_nejm_elections_and_health_2017.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article published by the New England Journal of Medicine</a> in 2017, Dr. Williams alleges that President Donald Trump’s candidacy reignited pre-existing hostile attitudes towards racial and ethnic minorities and migrants. He goes on to describe how Democrats in particular experienced negative health effects after the 2016 election, as they feel they are direct targets of hostility and discrimination, particularly white American conservatives.

https://twitter.com/D_R_Williams1/status/506515685460021248

&nbsp;

He further accuses the conservative-run Tea Party, which materialized after the election of Barack Obama, of increasing racial animosity in the United States. Dr. Williams claims a large uptick in racism on social media occurred after Obama’s election, as well as a resurgence of historically racist stereotypes. He attributes all of this to the Tea Party.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-1541 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-e1631047832769-1024x469.png" alt="" width="580" height="266" />

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tea-Party-movement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Tea Party</a> is an organization that was created in response to the 2008 financial and housing crisis in the United States. Outraged by the Obama administration’s policies - such as the mortgage bailouts in 2009 - the Tea Party was born. <a href="https://www.teaparty.org/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to their website</a>, the Tea Party claims to have millions of members nationwide, consisting of Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents alike.

Dr. Williams is also credited with developing the “<a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/davidrwilliams/node/32397" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everyday Discrimination Scale</a>” that is widely used as a measure of subjective experiences of discrimination in order to measure feelings of racism. This scale is used in schools to measure students’ perceived level of discrimination in their everyday lives. On the flip side, if students score very low on the scale, teachers and professors want to know why students think they aren’t being discriminated against. This typically boils down to the color of their skin.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1542 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-1-e1631047942158-1024x481.png" alt="" width="580" height="272" />

The scale is used in several major universities, particularly in healthcare studies. The University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies uses the scale to measure “subjective experiences of daily discrimination against the minority population.” Further details about their use of the scale <a href="https://elcentro.sonhs.miami.edu/research/measures-library/daily-discrimination-scale/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be found here</a>.
The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Williams for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

As of January 11, over 10,000 people <a href="https://www.change.org/p/resist-the-call-for-the-resignation-of-claudine-gay-as-harvard-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed the Change.org petition</a> calling for Harvard University President Claudine Gay’s resignation. The shift away from public support started after Gay’s <a href="https://youtu.be/oklC-xpSOWc?list=TLPQMTIxMjIwMjOdO_R_5s2NVQ">congressional testimony</a> where she refused to condemn anti-Jewish protests on campus. 

During the December 5, 2023 hearing, New York Representative Elise Stefanik <a href="https://youtu.be/lwu3rBAWvOQ">asked</a> Gay whether inciting violence and genocide against Jews violated Harvard’s rules on bullying or harassment. Gay said, “It can be, depending on the context.” When grilled further about the context, Gay explained, “[When it’s] targeted at an individual.”

After the October 7 Hamas terrorist invasion that killed over 1,000 Jewish citizens, <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/12/6/unrecognized-student-group-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 30 pro-Palestine student groups</a> began protesting on Harvard’s main campus. The Crimson reported that 33 student groups also <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/10/10/psc-statement-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a statement of responsibility</a> wherein Israel is solely blamed for the attack.

In November, at the height of pro-Hamas protests on campus, Gay released a statement:
“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. But that’s a far cry from endorsing them. It’s in the exercise of our freedom to speak that we reveal our characters, and we reveal the character of our institution.…”

​​Gay’s resignation also came amid growing controversy surrounding plagiarized publications throughout her career. Gay initially <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/11/news/claudine-gay-denies-newly-surfaced-plagiarism-accusations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied all allegations</a> of plagiarism and<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harvard-rallies-behind-president-claudine-gay-amid-calls-for-resignation-2023-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> garnered support</a> from more than 500 faculty members.

On December 12, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/billionaire-confirms-harvard-president-was-dei-hire-as-dozens-more-plagiarism-accusations-emerge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gay appeared</a> in The College Fix again. The source said, “Billionaire hedge fund founder Bill Ackman said on [Twitter] he has confirmed that Harvard University’s selection of [Gay] for president was a decision based on diversity, equity and inclusion principles.”

Despite Gay’s lack of integrity and unethical practices, <a href="https://youtu.be/CNXPq6OppJE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The National Desk</a> announced that she will remain a professor at Harvard University and will keep her nearly $900,000 salary.

In stark contrast to their views on racial and social welfare, African Americans are firmly anchored to the political right of whites (and other minorities) on a range of moral and cultural issues, including abortion, gay rights, and women’s role in society.”

<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/8/gay-thrilled-taeku-hire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Crimson</a> featured Gay’s enthusiasm for expanding the school’s ethnic studies program as she welcomed a new faculty recruit. The article says, “Following more than four decades of lobbying by Harvard students and alumni for an ethnic studies concentration, Gay launched a search for faculty specializing in Asian American, Latinx, and Muslim studies in June 2019.”

The article concludes by stating, “When African-American women are underrepresented in an organization’s senior leadership roles despite robust academic credentials and work experience, their struggles often suggest a broader problem: a workplace that fails to offer every employee equal access to opportunities for growth.”

In a 2018 symposium, Race, Work &amp; Leadership: Learning About &amp; From Black Experience, Ely said, “[I] take an intersectional approach with the Gender Initiative…I think this is where the energy in the world is right now…gender really shape[s] the lives and livelihoods of people and also our workplaces.”

Martin Nowak is a <a href="https://oeb.harvard.edu/people/martin-nowak" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of Mathematics and Biology at Harvard University.</a> His university profile says he “works on the mathematical description of evolutionary processes” including research on HIV, HBV, and cancer treatment.

In 2021, Nowak was censured by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/claudinegay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Claudine Gay</a>, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences after it was revealed that he had connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a sex trafficker who allegedly committed suicide while awaiting trial in 2019.

<a href="https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2021/03/martin-nowak-sanctioned-for-jeffrey-epstein-involvement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Magazine said</a>, “In an email sent to faculty members, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows in the department of mathematics and organismic and evolutionary biology…Gay announced disciplinary actions against Nowak…stemming from his connections to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”

Harvard Magazine continued, “[B]etween 1998 and 2008, Epstein made gifts of $6.5 million to the Program of Evolutionary Dynamics, which was run by Nowak.” Despite Gay initially announcing Nowak would no longer hold his positions at Harvard, it was later confirmed that he would “remain on the faculty of the mathematics department, but Gay listed two-year limits that would be placed on his advising and research activities.”

<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/harvard-punishes-professor-who-had-ties-jeffrey-epstein-n1262187" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News reported</a> that Nowak “gave Epstein ‘unrestricted’ access to campus…[and] an office in Nowak’s campus research center, along with a building key card, and allowed Epstein to visit even after [his] 2008 sex crimes conviction.”

Yanilda Gonzalez is the <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/yanilda-gonzalez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School</a>. She teaches Politics and Ethics in Unstable Times, as well as Policing, Citizenship, and Inequality in Comparative Perspective. Both courses offer guidance for analyzing systemic inequalities and injustice in American society.

According to her university profile, Professor Gonzalez focuses her research on “policing, state violence, and citizenship in democracy, examining how race, class, and other forms of inequality shape these processes.” She has also published several scholarly articles and one book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Authoritarian_Police_in_Democracy/afwAEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=authoritarian+police+in+democracy&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Authoritarian Police in Democracy: Contested Security in Latin America</a>.”

The book explores why “police forces are at the center of social unrest and debates about democracy and rule of law [and] the persistence of authoritarian policing in Latin America to explain why police violence and malfeasance remain pervasive decades after democratization.”

In a <a href="https://youtu.be/CkGBLBCHaXM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Kennedy School video discussion</a> of her book, Gonzalez said her inspiration for the publication started when she was a “young and impressionable college student who was starting to learn about democracy as a political science major.” After witnessing alleged human rights abuses during 9/11, working for the <a href="https://www.nyclu.org/en/publications/forces-against-progress-are-gathering-new-york-must-lead-way-forward">New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU)</a>, and studying post-dictatorship policing in South America, Gonzalez came to wonder “how can democratic systems perpetuate authoritarian practices.”

The NYCLU’s is a non-profit organization that focuses on racial justice, voting reform, transgender rights, and the rights of incarcerated people. The group’s legislative goals include lowering incarceration rates among Blacks by decriminalizing minor drug possession and eliminating “taxes on poverty” — these are court fees and fines collected by local governments as a “major source of funding.”

Her research interests and teaching consist of equality, inclusion, economic and social justice, as well as human rights diplomacy and the role of identity in advocacy.

Ossom was featured in a 2020 Harvard Law Today article titled “<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/today/event-series-explores-racial-justice-and-human-rights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Event Series Explores Racial Justice and Human Rights</a>.” She hosted a series of talks “between students, scholars, and practitioners on the role that race plays both in the practice and substance of international human rights work.” When asked what inspired her to convene the event series, Ossom said,

“The series is inspired most directly by the ongoing discussions about systemic racism that have accompanied protests for racial justice around the world…Observations about human rights practice can spark ideas that lead to great legal scholarship.”

In the wake of the high-profile deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, Ossom co-authored <a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=229087098105069064000019124018110099098073020038068011091083024111002018074073066027060118002034019104038016068000078089071026020039005023014121118068002073064111119010065042002003091113006102093092118006112003102116125029086103080105100088068072110090&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toward an Antiracist Clinical Community, Pedagogy, &amp; Practice</a>. The research paper “is intended to serve that goal [of antiracist work], turning the focus inward to interrogate how the status quo of a clinic’s structure, practices, and teaching methods might contribute to racial inequities in the learning environment and legal field.”

During a <a href="https://youtu.be/zRG0pQ_pzio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">virtual discussion</a>, “Human Rights, Civil Rights, and the Struggle for Racial Justice,” Ossom joined a panel of social justice activists to discuss the legacy of slavery, race violence, and police brutality. Ossom primarily served as the moderator but joined the conversation to share thoughts on the “defund the police” movement:

“I’m also hearing, too, that issues of trust aren’t just issues of trust for the police. They’re also issues of trust for systems of education, nutritional security, water and sanitation, [and] in other systems...But I should also point out that there’s also distrust among other institutions because of the fact that they failed to provide for Black American communities.

John Comaroff is the Hugh K. Foster <a href="https://anthropology.fas.harvard.edu/people/john-comaroff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of African and African-American Studies and Anthropology</a> at Harvard University. His teaching and research interests include crime, policing, and democracy in postcolonial politics. 

In June 2022, Comaroff was <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/6/29/comaroff-amended-complaint/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Harvard Crimson</a> as an alleged perpetrator of sexual assault crimes on campus. The Crimson said, “Comaroff is facing new allegations of sexual harassment in an <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.242149/gov.uscourts.mad.242149.35.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amended lawsuit</a> that includes accounts of unwanted touching, kissing, and sexual remarks during his three decades as a faculty member at the University of Chicago, where he allegedly engaged in multiple sexual relationships with students.”

When accusations resulted in a lawsuit against the college, Comaroff was placed on unpaid administrative leave in January. Comaroff’s colleagues immediately rallied in support with nearly 40 faculty and staff adding signatures to <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.thecrimson.com/pdf/2022/02/04/1353924.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an open letter</a>. The letter states:

“Harvard’s Office of Dispute Resolution (ODR) found that Comaroff had ‘engaged in verbal conduct that violated the FAS Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy and the FAS Profesional Conduct Policy. Although Comaroff had been accused by three students, only one allegation was found by Harvard's ODR to have any merit.”

“We the undersigned know John Comaroff to be an excellent colleague, advisor and committed university citizen who has for five decades trained and advised hundreds of Ph.D. students of diverse backgrounds…We are dismayed by Harvard’s sanctions against him and concerned about its effects on our ability to advise our own students.”

By February 10 — when details of the lawsuit became public — the <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/2/10/comaroff-faculty-letter-retraction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crimson reported</a>, “Almost all of the Harvard professors who signed an open letter that questioned the results of misconduct investigations into professor Comaroff have retracted their support.” In turn, “some of Harvard’s most prominent scholars signed a letter of retraction” and one sent an email to recant their support.

According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/02/10/harvard-sexual-misconduct-comaroff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washinton Post</a>, “The reversal came after three Harvard graduate students filed a lawsuit accusing the university of ignoring sexual harassment allegations against Comaroff…Attorneys for Comaroff said he categorically denies ever harassing or retaliating against any student…The lawsuit characterized Harvard’s response to complaints as ‘deliberate indifference…’”

As of September, Comaroff was <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/09/09/accused-harasser-john-comaroff-returns-harvard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed from administrative leave</a> and allowed back in the classroom. The lawsuit against Harvard and Comaroff is ongoing.

Sandra Susan Smith is the <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/sandra-susan-smith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice</a> and Faculty Director for the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School. Part of her research interests is focused on racial inequality in pretrial detention and diversion. Smith believes criminal offenders — particularly those in black communities — who are monitored electronically incur unfavorable psychological, social, and economic injuries.

<a href="https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/parole/electronic-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electronic monitoring (EM)</a> is an incarceration alternative that allows pretrial offenders to avoid bail payments or extra time behind bars while awaiting court hearings.

Harvard Kennedy School published an article featuring Smith titled <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-research/policy-topics/fairness-justice/san-francisco-has-fewer-pretrial-detainees-jail" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“San Francisco has few pretrial detainees in jail. But at what cost?”</a> Smith’s research into pretrial detainees revealed that “more than 40% were black, despite black people making up only about 5% of San Francisco’s population.” In the article, Smith argues:

“Reforms like pretrial EM, while presumably meant as a move toward lower incarceration, end up trapping participants in cycles of interaction with the criminal legal system even before they’ve been convicted of a crime. EM, like incarceration itself, reproduces inequalities by race and class and prevents participants from becoming full members of society.”

Essentially, Smith advocates that the mental health of offenders who are monitored is a greater risk than the probability of them committing further crimes while awaiting trial. She “hopes that as reforms continue to happen in the criminal justice system…and that San Francisco will substantially scale back its use of pretrial EM,” according to Harvard Kennedy School.

Smith teaches Section A: Exploring Institutions and Modes of Racial Domination of a course called “<a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/courses/race-and-racism-public-policies-practices-and-perspectives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race and Racism in Public Policies, Practices, and Perspectives</a>.” The section description says, 

“This module…[examines] power and oppression in the contemporary American context. We will explore key theoretical and empirical insights from the social sciences to highlight the role of institutions of racial domination have played in producing durable racial hierarchies…”

On the Gloria Purvis Podcast, Brooks discussed how “black” churches in America should respond to social justice issues. He said the church was “tremendously consequential” in his life and his decision to become a minister.

Brooks told The Observer,

“‘There are a great many studies about harm and repair [that are] [sic]regular and routine…Data suggests that reparations is [sic] commonplace. For example, veteran’s injuries, losing property, bad vaccines and when farmers lose their crops. Reparations is not aberrational but is a customary means of redress.”

In May 2020, Brooks was featured in an NPR publication titled “<a href="https://www.delawarepublic.org/national-headlines/2020-05-31/former-naacp-head-cornell-brooks-blames-derek-chauvin-for-violence-at-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Former NAACP Head Cornell Brooks Blames Derek Chauvin for Violence at Protests.</a>” At the height of the controversy — when netizens and politicians were blaming Antifa and far-left radical extremist groups, Brooks said he thought “the police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck should be blamed for violent protests, too.”

NPR quoted Brooks saying,

“In these marches and demonstrations, there are anarchists and white supremacists and others who show up…[b]ut to be clear: There would be no protests, there would be no demonstrations, had Derek Chauvin not killed George Floyd.” 

“[Chauvin] should also be charged with looting, with arson, and with sowing the seeds of chaos and dissension in our public. He is an accomplice, he is a co-conspirator [and] a co-participant in the destruction were are experiencing as a country.”

She teaches International and Intersectional Approaches to Race and Racism — this is “section C” of a class titled “Race and Racism in Public Policies, Practices, and Perspectives.” The <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/courses/race-and-racism-public-policies-practices-and-perspectives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> says, 

“Students will confront legacies and explore key frameworks, from caste to global antiblackness, for understanding and redressing how racism shapes our lives and our world. Each student will build a personal toolkit of intersectional policy analysis skills and concepts…we will work toward concrete policy and advocacy solutions to system racism.”

Zoe Marks is an outspoken supporter of pro-abortion policies, social justice, and women’s rights. In an opinion titled “Breaking the Silence,” she told <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-research/policy-topics/fairness-justice/roe-v-wade-has-been-overturned-what-does-mean#zoe-marks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Kennedy School News</a>,

“The Supreme Court’s decision to let state legislatures control people’s access to abortion care is the latest chapter in a decades-long conversation that most Americans have been reluctant to have…As a historical reference point, it’s useful to remember there is no record of women being discussed at the Constitutional Convention…”

She continued,

“For millions of enslaved women, who were held as property and legally denied bodily autonomy and personhood, sharing knowledge of birth control and abortifacients was a way to claim their sovereignty and resist white capitalist violence.”

Marks co-authored an article titled “<a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2022-02-08/women-rights-revenge-patriarchs?check_logged_in=1&amp;utm_medium=promo_email&amp;utm_source=lo_flows&amp;utm_campaign=registered_user_welcome&amp;utm_term=email_1&amp;utm_content=20221101" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revenge of the Patriarchs: Why Autocrats Fear Women</a>” in which she discusses the role of women throughout world history and politics.

In the same publication, Marks also said,

“Even the United States has experienced a slowdown in progress toward gender equity and a rollback of reproductive rights…During his presidency, Donald Trump worked with antifeminist stalwarts…to halt the expansion of women’s rights around the world.”

“And despite the Biden administration’s commitment to gender equity at the national level, Republican-controlled states are attempting to reverse the constitutional right to abortion, which is now more vulnerable than it has been in decades.”

His interests include African American Literature, Modernism, and Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies.

McCarthy authored a collection of essays entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Who-Will-Pay-Reparations-Soul-ebook/dp/B08D1K6354/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=who+will+pay+reparations+on+my+soul+essays&amp;qid=1668008114&amp;sprefix=who+will+pay%2Caps%2C279&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B08D1K6354&amp;revisionId=5b7726f8&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul?</a>” in which he argues “for the central role of art and intellection culture in an age of widening inequality and moral crisis,” according to the publisher’s summary. In his introduction, A Note on Style and Usage, McCarthy says,

“Pride in culture and rooted history have always been important to our struggles. Historically, W.E.B. Du Bois and others fought to have the word ‘Negro’ capitalized for this very reason. In that case, ‘the Negro’ became a demonym specifically denoting US racial blackness. The word ‘Negro’...reflects and will always be associated with the history of black Americans under the racial regime of Jim Crow.”

When <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/06/jesse-mccarthy-discusses-his-new-essay-collection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Gazette asked McCarthy</a>, “Where does the title of the collection come from?”, he said, 

“The title is an homage to Gil Scott-Heron…a writer, a poet, and a musician who used his art as a vehicle for ideas and politics and critical thinking…I’m more interested in asking and provoking questions than providing answers.”

He continued,

“This isn’t a prescriptive book — you can’t open it and find an answer to the question of reparations for racial injustice in America or anywhere else. But hopefully, you can open the book and it will provoke you to think about those problems in new ways and raise a bunch of new ones too.”

In 2021, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/books/review/jesse-mccarthy-who-will-pay-reparations-on-my-soul.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured McCarthy discussing his collection of essays</a> in an article titled To This Essayist and Cultural Critic, the Black Tradition is Resistance. Regarding McCarthy’s target audience for the book, the commentary says, “Some potential readership came of age in the period bookended by the police killings of Michale Brown, in 2014, and both Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, in 2020 — the same period during which McCarthy wrote the essays…”

The New York Times continued, “[McCarthy] mainly hopes to convey ‘the basic premise that nothing is outside our purview, that there are no limits to the ideas, realms of knowledge, creative traditions or political histories that we can lay claim to and incorporate…[McCarthy] convincing explained [his] personal decision to resist the trend of capitalizing ‘Black’ in reference to the community to which he happens to belong.”

Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. His faculty profile also says he served as the Chair of the Department of African and African-American Studies, and his research focuses on the “intersection of social psychology, social inequality, politics, and race.”

In June 2020, <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/lawrence-d-bobo-examines-police-killings-of-black-men/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Gazette published a Q &amp; A</a> titled “The Fire This Time.” The subheading says, “[Bobo] dissects police killings of Black men and the history and cognitive forces behind racial bigotry and violence, and why he sees signs of hope.”

The Gazette asked, “In the majority of police-related killings of Black people, the assailants are white. Is that enough to conclude that racism is the cause, or are their other causes also at work?” Bobo responded,

“Certainly racism, and both the historic legacy of racism and the long, deeply etched legacy of racism in terms of our current social conditions and circumstances…have been profoundly distorted by racism.”

He continued,

“It’s really important to recall that what slavery did…was to forge a tight link between our social class structure and a kind of racial hierarchy. It created a bottom rung of people who were racially stigmatized and in the deepest economic disadvantage and poverty.”

Bobo co-authored a book entitled, “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Racial_Attitudes_in_America/mPOWMEEKpY0C?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Racial+Attitudes+in+America&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Attitudes in America: Trends and Interpretations</a>.” Chapter 3: Trends in White Racial Attitudes discusses six questions surrounding trends “of how white racial attitudes changed over the past half-century.” Regarding affirmative action, Bobo et al., stated,

“The first affirmative action steps had been attempts to eliminate what came to be called ‘institutional racism’...A second, more active type of affirmative step was to devote government funds to improving the lives of black Americans…Finally, a third and still more dramatic step was to give preference to blacks in employment and educational situations, as a way of…accelerating the move toward equality of outcomes.”

<a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/marcella-alsan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marcella Alsan</a> is a Professor of Public Policy and Faculty affiliate in the Department of Economics at Harvard University. <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/alsan/files/cv_alsan.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to her CV</a>, she’s taught in the fields of medicine, health research and policy, and economics since 2013.

From 2021 to 2022, Alsan served on the Committee on Improving the Representation of Women and Underrepresented Minorities in Clinical Trials and Research at NASEM (<a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine</a>). According to the About page, NASEM is a nonprofit institution that “works to shape sound policies, inform public opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine.”

Alsan and her committee <a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/improving-the-representation-of-women-and-underrepresented-minorities-in-clinical-trials-and-research#sectionPublications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a study</a> that concluded, “While progress has been made with the representation of white women in clinical trials and clinical research, there has been little progress in the last three decades to increase participation of racial and ethnic minority population groups.”

Alsan also co-authored a paper titled “<a href="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w24787/w24787.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Does Diversity Matter for Health? Experimental Evidence From Oakland</a>.” Citing previous studies, the introduction says,

“African-American men have the lowest life expectancy of any major demographic group in the United States and live on average 4.5 few years than non-Hispanic white men. Reasons for this disparity are multifactorial and include lack of health insurance, lower socioeconomic status, and structural racism.”

Alsan et al., further state,

“There are several ways in which racial diversity could play a role in medicine, specifically as it relates to the patient-doctor relationship. Taste-based discrimination on the part of the patient or doctor could imply that individuals are averse to interacting with those who do not share their racial background. On the other hand, internalized racism…could lead to the opposite phenomenon…” 

In 2020, Alsan <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/wiener-conference-calls/marcella-alsan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined a Weiner Conference Call</a> to talk about the “economics of infectious diseases” where she discussed the Covid-19 virus, vaccines, and some research conducted by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s — the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) who was <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20793561/leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed for allegedly covering up origins of the Covid-19 pandemic</a>.

During the questions section, the moderator asked on behalf of a student, “‘Very open the terms ‘minorities’ and ‘marginalized communities’ are used interchangeably…During Covid-19, has it been important or relevant to make a distinction between the two groups from a policy point of view?’” 

Alsan gave a hesitant, incoherent response, “I think what…I work mostly in the United States and I think it’s important to think about who is historically disadvantaged, and, um, who might need…who [is] particularly vulnerable. Because simply being less than the majority doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be equally vulnerable.”

On October 17, 2022, the National Academy of Medicine <a href="https://nam.edu/national-academy-of-medicine-elects-100-new-members-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced Aslan as a newly elected member</a>. The announcement says she was elected for “her scholarly insights on understanding the origins of medical mistrust and the role it plays in understanding health disparities. Her work has shaped policy in addressing disparities…and improving messaging in reaching historically marginalized and vulnerable populations.”

Her profile says she’s “dedicated to furthering diversity, inclusion, and belonging” at Harvard.

Dr. Greene’s primary role is the Title IX Resources Coordinator — a position that gives her unrestricted access to all complaints of sexual discrimination, as well as reports of retaliation or system issues that may continually raise once complaints are processed.

Dr. Greene is an affiliate and ally of Harvard’s <a href="https://oge.harvard.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Office for Gender Equity (OGE)</a>. The organization provides “professional training” to recognize, report, investigate and appeal sexual misconduct. The About page states, 

“The [OGE] empowers and supports the Harvard community to advance a climate of gender equity and inclusion through evidence-based educational initiatives, excellence in research and practice, and delivery of direct services.”

In a video titled “<a href="https://youtu.be/yCb5bUnfzMI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Brief History of Juneteenth,</a>” Dr. Greene begins her talk by asking, “What does Juneteenth mean to you?” She follows up by giving her interpretation of the holiday and says,’

“Juneteenth marks the day slavery officially ended in the United States on June 19, 1865. President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation promised freedom to enslaved people in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863, following the four-year Civil War.”

She continued,

“However, it was a full two and half years before all states were compelled to honor this executive order, effectively freeing the 250,000 people still being held under slavery in Texas. We join you in giving this holiday the national recognition it deserves, while acknowledging that many members of the African-American community continue to struggle for the dignity, access, equality, equity, and inclusion that was envisioned by the Emancipation Proclamation.”

<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/crystal-s-yang/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crystal S. Yang</a> holds a Ph.D. in Economics and is the Bennett Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Her areas of interest include civil rights, law and equity, poverty law and economic justice.

Yang’s faculty appointment was announced in a 2019 article from <a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/today/crystal-yang-13-named-professor-of-law-at-harvard-law-school/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Law Today</a>. The report says,

“Yang’s recent empirical projects focus on the effects of the bail system on defendants’ short and long-term outcomes, racial bias in the criminal justice system, the spillover effects of deportation fear, and the use of algorithms in the criminal justice system.”

Yang co-authored a study titled “<a href="https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/133/4/1885/5025665?redirectedFrom=fulltext" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Bias in Bail Decisions</a>.” The abstract states, 

“We motivate our analysis using <a href="https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/how-gary-becker-saw-the-scourge-of-discrimination" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[Gary] Becker’s model of racial bias</a>, which predicts that rates of pretrial misconduct will be identical for marginal white and marginal black defendants if bail judges are racially unbiased. In contrast, marginal white defendants will have higher rates of misconduct than marginal black defendants if the bail judges are racially biased…”

Yang et al., continued,

“We find suggestive evidence that racial bias is driven by bail judges relying on inaccurate stereotypes that exaggerate the relative danger of releasing black defendants.”

Yang was also featured in the Winter 2019 issue of Harvard Law Bulletin in an article titled “<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/today/crystal-yang-an-empirical-approach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crystal Yang: An Empirical Approach: Making the Case for Criminal Justice Reform</a>.” The author said, “While pretrial detention is often justified as a crime deterrent, Yang and her colleagues found that it actually has a criminogenic effect.” Yang was credited with researching and developing “tools that judges could use to make more-informed decisions.”

In 2021, <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/bpea-articles/the-economic-costs-of-pretrial-detention/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brookings reported</a> Yang’s research on bail disparities led her to co-author a study that led to the conclusion of how “reducing pre-trial detention…would generate significant economic returns for accused individuals…their families and communities.”

Rosenfeld teaches a course titled <a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/courses/bonobo-sisterhood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bonobo Sisterhood</a>. A description for the class promises to explore “the power and potential of female alliances to disrupt patriarchal systems.” 

She has also written a book titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bonobo-Sisterhood-Revolution-Through-Alliance/dp/0063085070" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Bonobo Sisterhood Revolution Through Female Alliance</a>.” The description states that Rosenfeld will “harness the power of the #MeToo movement into a road map for sex equality” by analyzing the social relations of bonobo monkeys.

In the book, <a href="https://msmagazine.com/2022/10/19/diane-rosenfeld-bonobo-sisterhood-female-alliance-patriarchy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she writes</a>, “Racism and sexism go hand in hand…Each is based on white male supremacy and reflects a foundation in law authored by and judged over by, overwhelmingly, white men.

Former CNN correspondent Brian Stelter is the <a href="https://shorensteincenter.org/programs/fellowships/walter-shorenstein-media-democracy-fellowship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walter Shorenstein Media &amp; Democracy Fellow</a> at the Harvard Kennedy School. Stelter joined the university’s Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy in the Fall of 2022. Details of Stelter's position were featured in a <a href="https://shorensteincenter.org/stelter-shorenstein-fellow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard press release</a>:

“As the Walter Shorenstein Fellow, Stelter will convene a series of discussions about threats to democracy and the range of potential responses from the news media. These discussions with media leaders, policymakers…and faculty will help deepen public and scholarly understanding about the current state of the information ecosystem and its impacts on democratic governance.”

Stelter received the Walter Shorenstein appointment shortly after being terminated from his position as the host of CNN’s Reliable Sources (RS). The show ran for 30 years with Stelter at the helm from 2013 until its cancellation in August 2022. According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/harvard-taps-journalism-expert-brian-stelter-for-teaching-gig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, "Stelter was let go by CNN after its new chairman and CEO, Chris Licht, took the reins from Jeff Zucker, who encouraged Stelter to make criticism of right-wing media the focus of his show…”

In a video announcing his departure, Stelter said,

“As most of you know, CNN has a new owner. Warner Brothers Discovery is making big changes across the company. And there’s going to be more change all across the company including here at CNN. And I’m sad I won’t be here to cover it.”

He continued,

"This entire hour is a special hour and it's about change. It's about change all across the media world. What's changing, what might change, and what must never change about the accountability function of journalism. You know I love this show, this small but mighty show that punched above its weight for so many years."

In August 2020, Stelter <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hoax/PKv5DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a book</a> titled“Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth.” Publishers said the novel includes “never before reported details [that expose] the media personalities who, though morally bankrupt, profit outrageously by promoting the President’s propaganda and radicalizing the American right.”

Under the section subheading, The Cult, Stelter wrote,

“The MAGAsphere targeted journalists who pointed out Trump’s falsehoods and flubs. Fox’s truth-tellers faced some of the most vociferous attacks because they were perceived to be turncoats.“

He continued later in the chapter,

“Once unbound from the shackles of truth, Fox’s power came from what it decided to cover — its chosen narratives — and what it decided to ignore. Trump’s immature, erratic, and immoral behavior? His sucking up to Putin? His mingling of presidential business and personal profit? Fox talk shows played dumb and targeted the ‘deep state’ instead.”

<a href="https://ghsm.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-staff/jason-bryan-silverstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Silverstein</a> is a Global Health and Social Medicine Lecturer and the Co-Director of Math of Science in Media, Medicine, and Health at Harvard Medical School. In May 2022, one month before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade, Silverstein submitted a narrative to <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/health/a39970410/abortion-saved-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Men’s Health Magazine</a>. The article retells the story of a woman who underwent an abortion procedure that allegedly saved her life. Silverstein introduced the publication by stating, 

“While many states will make exceptions for the life of the mother, medical emergency exceptions are not as clear as they may seem—how close to death does a woman have to be before an abortion is legal isn’t black-and-white…What is clear is that many women are alive today because they could have an abortion…”

The woman that Silverstein wrote to Men’s Health about was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy —a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a fertilized egg growing outside the uterus (i.e. in the fallopian tubes). The abnormality can cause severe internal bleeding and laparoscopic surgery (which usually results in terminating the pregnancy) is often required to successfully treat the issue.

In September of the same year, Men’s Health <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/health/a34044035/covid-19-need-real-lockdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a Silverstein article with the title, “We Can’t Beat COVID-19 Without a 6-Week Lockdown.” Under the heading, “Why a lockdown is a reasonable move,” Silverstein said,

“By now the evidence is clear: lockdowns work. We know that strict lockdowns worked in China, slowing down how fast the virus spreads. In Wuhanm, the unprecedented 76-day lockdown, in which people were barred [from] leaving the city or their homes for once every three days for food, stopped new infections by two-thirds.”

After praising lockdown policies in Italy, France and New Zealand, he continued,

“The lack of any real lockdown plus patchwork of state policies feels like a strategy designed by the COVID virus itself…Just as cases started to surge in the summer, states decided to relax what orders they had…[B]ecause the first lockdowns were half-assed, now the need for a second may be a death sentence for some small businesses…

In 2021, Basu <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/united-nations-climate-change-report-heat-east-coast-20210810.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an opinion editorial titled</a>, “Amid devastating climate report and heat waves coming our way, we need courage.” In the article, Basu said he sympathized with students who described their emotions toward climate change as “doom, fear, hopelessness, and paralysis.”

He stated, “As a doctor, I live with the clear understanding that as climate change bears down upon us, it will continue to threaten my patients’ health…Our planet is in a precarious situation…More importantly, activists worldwide have galvanized attention to climate change.”

According to <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/2/3/hms-climate-curriculum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Crimson</a>, "Harvard Medical School voted [in January 2023] to embed climate change into the school’s curriculum…The effort was led by Basu…and a group of students from the HMS organization Students for Environmental Awareness in Medicine."

The Crimson also said, “The curriculum change aims to integrate climate change themes throughout students’ medical school education rather than creating new courses specifically around climate change.”

<a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/sogie/sogie-team/tishelman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Tishelman</a> is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School (HMS). She’s also the Director of Clinical Research in the Behavioral Health, Endocrinology and Urology Program, and Gender Multispecialty Service at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Tishelman’s HMS profile says she was “selected by the World Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) to be the international lead developing new global standards of care for prepubescent children.”

Tishelman, along with several “transgender specialists,” authored WPATH’s “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/26895269.2022.2100644" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, Version 8</a>.” The publication was intended to “provide clinical guidelines for health professionals to assist transsexual, transgender and gender nonconforming people with safe and effective pathways to achieving lasting personal comfort…”

Addressing gender identity in minor patients, Tishelman et al., stated:

“Our understanding of gender identity development in adolescence is continuing to evolve…For some youth, gender identity development appears fixed and is often expressed from a young age, while for others there may be a developmental process that contributes to gender identity development over time.”

The authors’ “Statement of Recommendation”  for healthcare professionals includes:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“...possess a general knowledge of gender diversity across the lifespan.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">…develop expertise in autism spectrum disorders and other neurodiversity or collaborate with an expert with relevant expertise when working with autistic/neurodivergent, gender-diverse children.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">...respond supportively to children who desire to be acknowledged as the gender that matches their internal sense of gender identity.”</li>
</ul>
According to Tishelman et al., “At present, no clinical cohort studies have reported on profiles of adolescents who regret their initial decision or detransition after irreversible affirming treatment.”

Tishelman was a panel speaker during WPATH’s <a href="https://www.wpath.org/media/cms/Upcoming%20Conferences/2022/WPATH%202022%20Prospectus%20Final.pdf?_t=1649279057" target="_blank" rel="noopener">27th Scientific Symposium</a> in September 2022. WPATH’s stated goal is to work to “further the understanding of the range of interventions, modalities, medical and surgical gender-affirming treatments” while providing “opportunities for professionals to…communicate with each other in the context of research and treatment of gender incongruence…”

A portion of Tishelman’s Symposium presentation—where she admitted to manipulating age restriction information to avoid industry lawsuits— was leaked to social media:

<a href="https://geography.rutgers.edu/people/faculty/faculty-member/974-roane-j-t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.T. Roane</a> is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers University. Roane’s faculty profile shows him on leave for the 2023-2024 academic year. His research interests include “black geographies,” “black ecologies,” “black gender and sexuality studies” and “African American and African Diaspora History.” Roane is also listed as a <a href="https://warrencenter.fas.harvard.edu/people/jt-roane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faculty Fellow</a> at Harvard University’s Charles Warren Center.

In June 2023, <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-black-geography-of-the-city/">Boston Review</a> interviewed Roane about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Agoras-Insurgent-Social-Politics/dp/1479847674/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21MANUVSI36NU&amp;keywords=dark+agoras&amp;qid=1699479018&amp;sprefix=dark+agoras%2Caps%2C154&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B09X2GLKKH&amp;revisionId=fb4c3c45&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his book</a> “Dark Agoras: Insurgent Black Social Life and the Politics of Place” in which he “investigates the ways they transposed rural imaginaries about and practices of place as part of their spatial resistances and efforts to contour industrial neighborhoods.”

Roane introduced the book by stating:
“Dark <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=agoras+meaning&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1021US1022&amp;oq=agoras+meaning&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMg0IBxAuGMcBGNEDGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgkICRAAGAoYgATSAQkxNTU1MGowajeoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agoras</a> emerged under slavery through the active reinvention of African socialities and consciousnesses about place, identity, kinship, and belonging as the negation of the spatial and temporal features associated with domination and slave mastery…”
He goes on to state:
“Connections within the sites constituting dark agoras, as well as encounters across them and movement between them, underwrote a distinctive black working-class phenomenology of the city, the basis of what I term black queer urbanism…Black queer urbanism refers to a critical approach that views nonnormative forms of black social-geographic life…”
During the <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-black-geography-of-the-city/">Boston Review</a> interview, Roane responded to the question: “In your book, you argue that the stoop stands as one of the places that constitute the underground. How does this domestic exterior transform into a vital place for sociality?” Roane said:
“The stoop has a whole genealogy. The black uses of the stoop emerge out of the uses of the quarters in the context of the plantation…that was integrally related to their geographic position to the side of the major formation of the plantation—the big house—and to the spaces of labor, the field...
“When black communities get displaced during the Jim Crow enclosures…they don’t just relinquish those values.”
Roane was also featured in <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/watch-profs-discuss-spirituality-of-non-binary-vaginas-femme-penises-and-black-queer-religions/21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a> after participating in the <a href="https://youtu.be/0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel discussion</a> “Black Queer Religions Afro-Indigenous &amp; New Religions.” Among the topics covered, panelists discussed “the reality of non-binary vaginas and biologically femme penises.”

Roane is an outspoken supporter of Palestine. After the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, he <a href="https://www.answercoalition.org/open_letter_harvard_palestine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter</a> defending pro-Hamas rallies at Harvard University. The letter states, 
“The case of Harvard University is only one of many examples of the attacks that those who express solidarity with the Palestinians struggle face; attacks that are rapidly escalating at this time. Likewise, violent hate crimes against Palestinians are taking place around the country.”
Roane posted on X, formerly known as Twitter—

<a href="https://aaas.fas.harvard.edu/people/walter-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walter Johnson</a> is the Winthrop Professor of History and a Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. Johnson’s focus areas are “slavery, capitalism and imperialism in the nineteenth century.” His <a href="https://college.harvard.edu/academics/faculty/faculty-spotlights/walter-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faculty Spotlight</a> profile states: 

“As Johnson approaches his work, he is fueled not only by <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/michael-brown-killed-by-police-ferguson-mo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events in Ferguson</a> and his work in St. Louis but also the current reckoning over American racism and the Black Lives Matter movement.”

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/05/17/west-is-relevant-our-long-history-anti-blackness-not-just-south/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post op-ed</a> titled “The West is relevant to our long history of anti-blackness, not just the South,” Johnson wrote:
“While we commonly think of slavery, sharecropping and segregation in the South as driving anti-blackness in American history, the process of western expansion, with the attendant notion of ‘the white man’s country,’ that undergirded the development of cities such as St. Louis and the United States, is equally essential to explaining the power and persistence of anti-blackness today.”

“[Johnson], a History professor and the first listed signatory on the letter, confirmed in an email that the letter was referring to <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/11/11/thayer-proctor-relief-of-duties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elom Tettey-Tamaklo</a>, a Harvard doctor who was relieved of his position after appearing in a video confrontation at a “die-in” supporting Palestine at Harvard Business School.”

The letter, “Harvard Faculty Statement In Support of Academic Freedom,” claims Gay’s <a href="https://youtu.be/HDI2P4dOsJ8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">message on November 9</a> contained “outright racism” and that there “must be room on a university campus for debate about the actions of states, including the State of Israel.”

According to Johnson et al.:
“[T]he phrase ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free” has a long and complicated history. Its interpretation deserves, and is receiving, sustained and ongoing inquiry and debate. Singling it out as necessarily implying removalism or even eliminationism…is imprudent as a matter of university policy and badly misjudged as an act of moral leadership.”

Gino made headlines after she was accused of falsifying research data. Gino’s lawyer has publicly stated that Harvard lacked evidence for its allegations.

On March 16, 2024, <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/education/harvard-honesty-professor-allegedly-tampered-data-and-should-be-fired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Just The News</a> featured Gino in an article entitled “Harvard honesty professor allegedly tampered with data and should be fired, according to probe.” Just The News said, “[Gino], considered a star behavioral scientist … allegedly tweaked observations in four of her studies to boost her hypothesis.”

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/16/us-news/harvard-professor-of-honesty-tampered-with-data-and-should-be-fired-probe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported on the university’s findings, stating, “The university report detailed that Harvard began a preliminary investigation of Gino’s work in October 2021 after the Data Colada researchers brought their concerns about the papers’ sketchy data to the school.”

The Post continued, “A full probe was conducted in 2022 and 2023, with three [Harvard] faculty members interviewing Gino and people who worked with her on the papers, in addition to reviewing her data, emails, and papers’ manuscripts. An outside forensics firm also was hired to analyze her studies’ data.”

<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/3/15/gino-harvard-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Crimson</a> reported that the university’s report recommended Gino’s termination. The source said, “The report says that Gino asserted that ‘an unknown actor with malicious intentions was a more plausible explanation than honest errors or intentional data falsification by herself.’”

The source said, “The investigation concluded that Gino had ‘significantly departed from accepted practices of the relevant research community and committed research misconduct intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly.’”

Gino has filed a $25 million lawsuit against Harvard Business School claiming that she has undergone “reputational damage along with loss of income and career opportunities,” according to the New York Post.

<a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/timothy-patrick-mccarthy">Timothy Patrick McCarthy</a> is a Lecturer on Education, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. 

According to his faculty profile, McCarthy “is Core Faculty in the Equity and Opportunity Foundations Curriculum, Online Master’s Program in Education Leadership, and Higher Education Concentration.” He also “teaches the school’s only course on LGBTQ matters.” 

McCarthy is an “award-winning scholar, educator, and human rights activist who has taught at Harvard since 1998.”

According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/fire-professors-who-oppose-gender-affirming-care-harvard-faculty-chair-says/">The College Fix</a>, McCarthy was interviewed by <a href="https://nyunews.com/features/news/2025/02/24/affiliates-tied-to-anti-trans-practices/">Washington Square News</a> and stated that professors who oppose “gender-affirming” care should be “removed and stripped of their academic titles.”

In the interview, McCarthy stated “there’s a particular place in hell for academics who use their academic expertise and power to distort and do violence to people in the world.”

The College Fix wrote to McCarthy for further information. His response was confrontational:

“I see what you’re doing here—it’s a tired, ancient playbook—and I hope you know that you have picked a fight with the wrong veteran of these culture wars,” McCarthy responded.

McCarthy told Washington Square News, those who question the validity of gender-affirming care “poison the waters” around the practice of “transgender” care. 

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley wrote an <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2025/03/14/harvard-professor-calls-for-the-firing-of-any-faculty-not-supporting-gender-affirming-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> criticizing the comments of McCarthy. According to Turley, the professor “was targeting two professors at NYU who are affiliated with groups critical of surgical and chemical interventions for gender dysphoria.” 

In 2017, McCarthy made the following comments about the play <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/9/14/fifteen-professors-2017-timothy-mccarthy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Crimson</a> “Hamilton”, alleging that the US founding was a matter of whiteness and masculinity. Certain characters based on US Founders are considered queer: 

“[T]his is a very masculine play, and the traditional reading of the founding is not just white but also male. The two characters that are most queer include Thomas Jefferson, who is widely criticized as a slave owner and a hypocrite and this Prince-like, purple-clad dandy who returns from Paris and asks, ‘What did I miss? What did I miss?’ and prances across the stage. The other queer character in ‘Hamilton’ is King George III, who shows up every once in awhile to bring a little sass and strut his stuff, and then leaves.”

Chalifoux was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania.

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.”

The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania.

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.”

Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="http://sts.cornell.edu/people/sbp65.cfm">Dr. Sara Pritchard</a> , a professor at Cornell University, has said that student evaluations of female professors are “pervasively slanted by gender bias” and thus prevents them from being more successful. Pritchard then goes on to say that because of blatant gender bias, female professors should be given bonus points in order to level the playing field.

<a href="https://history.cornell.edu/russell-rickford">Dr. Russell Rickford</a> is an associate professor of history at Cornell University. According to his university biography, Dr. Rickford “specializes in African-American political culture after World War II, the Black Radical Tradition, and transnational social movements.” In his various writings and teaching materials, Dr. Rickford frequently condemns the nation of Israel and alleges that the United States was founded on slavery and white supremacy.

In a book titled <a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false">Beyond Boundaries: The Manning Marable Reader</a>, Dr. Rickford alleges that Israel bears ultimate responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On page 276, Dr. Rickford states: “The US media and opinion makers repeatedly went out of their way to twist the facts and distort the political realities of the Middle East by insisting that Osama bin Laden’s group’s murderous assaults had nothing to do with Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians. Nobody else in the world, with the possible exception of the Israeli’s, really believes that.”

<a href="https://books.google.co.il/books?id=SEAeCwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=Russell+Rickford+israel&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=vIzqNlUKjC&amp;sig=KRxT1-8CHqm0mHE_Fr8k_PI9bFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiqg_3_t-DTAhUDIVAKHUUCDtMQ6AEIRDAG#v=onepage&amp;q=Russell%20Rickford%20israel&amp;f=false"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1403" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-05-28-at-12.41.11-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="467" /></a>

In a paper for The New Labor Forum (a labor journal published by the <a href="https://slu.cuny.edu/about/murphy-institute/">Murphy Institute</a> at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies) titled <a href="https://newlaborforum.cuny.edu/2015/12/28/black-lives-matter-practice-of-mass-struggle/">Black Lives Matter: Toward a Modern Practice of Mass Struggle</a>, Dr. Rickford praises the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as having “reinvigorated confrontation politics.” He describes the tactics of BLM as a commitment to “militancy,” referencing their history of “occupying highways, intersections, sporting events, retail stores, malls, campaign events, police stations, and municipal buildings.”

According to a <a href="https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to  95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found that “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion.">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

Dr. Rickford believes the motivations behind BLM riots are “police aggression and racist violence” instigated by law enforcement.  Dr. Rickford claims that white supremacy serves as the framework of our criminal justice system—causing law enforcement agencies to view BLM protestors as “enemy combatants.”

Throughout his career, Dr. Rickford has delivered racially charged speeches and lectures. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU8G_neFEOY&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">During a September 2014 protest at Cornell University, Dr. Rickford can be heard telling students</a> that each of them benefits from white supremacy.

Also in a 2014 lecture captured by The Cornell Review, Dr. Rickford urged his students to find white people that are “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsTQQQmYc88&amp;ab_channel=CornellReview">ready to commit race suicide</a>” on behalf of BLM and other racial justice movements.

According to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cornell-professor-hamas-attacks-exhilarating-students-want-him-fired-2023-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider</a>, during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAZcG-ZHOz4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speech</a> made in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, Rickford stated that his observation of the conflict was “exhilarating.” He exclaimed the following:

“In those first few hours—even as horrific acts were being carried out, many of which we would not learn about until later—there were many Gazans of goodwill, many Palestinians of conscience … who were able to breathe.”

Rickford continued:
“They [Palestinians] were able to breathe for the first time in years. It was exhilarating. It was energizing. And if they weren't exhilarated by this challenge to the monopoly of violence, by this shifting of the balance of power, then they would not be human. I was exhilarated.”
And:
“What has Hamas done? Hamas has shifted the balance of power. Hamas has punctured the illusion of invincibility.”
And:
“Hamas has challenged the monopoly of violence.”
<a href="https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/cornell-university-community-demands-the">Online petitions have started</a>, calling for Rickford’s removal from Cornell University, but as of late October 2023 he remains on faculty there.
Updated - October 19, 2023
&nbsp;

In April 2024, Rickford returned to Cornell’s campus from his leave of absence to join a student-led pro-Palestinian protest.

According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/29/us-news/cornell-prof-russell-rickford-who-called-hamas-attack-exhilarating-is-back-on-campus-cheering-on-protesters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>, Rickford was “behind a megaphone last week celebrating the students’ protest of the war in Gaza, which included ralliers setting up their own encampment Thursday in solidarity with the ‘tent city’ at Columbia University in Manhattan.”

Rickford stated the following of Israel and Palestine on April 25:
“The liberated territory is a concept. The liberated territory is in your head. Anytime you are ready, you can become a resident, an inhabitant, a member of the occupied territory, of the forces of liberation.” 
The university has not commented upon Rickford’s return to campus or his involvement in the protests.

Despite his leave from the university, Rickford wrote an article for <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2024/04/29/rickford-the-encampment-as-a-beloved-community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cornell Daily Sun</a>  titled “The Encampment as a Beloved Community.” At the opening of the article, Rickford wrote favorably of the protests and unfavorably of the administration’s response, which he called “an obscene distortion:”
“In their ongoing effort to criminalize solidarity with those the western world deems disposable, Cornell administrators have <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2024/04/29/everything-that-happened-on-day-four-of-the-encampment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">portrayed</a> the encampment on the Arts Quad as a center of aggression and hatred.”
Concerning his time at the encampment, Rickford stated:
“In the few hours I spent at the encampment recently, I witnessed a safe, dynamic, radically inclusive space. Indeed, I saw an expression of what civil rights workers once called ‘the beloved community’ — a society that enshrines the practice of fellowship, mutuality and agape love.”
Rickford further addresses the encampment’s effect on the university:
“The encampment defies Cornell’s culture of conformity and narrow careerism. If the creed of individualism and the ethics of capitalist accumulation shape official campus life, a politics of caring and camaraderie guides the liberated zone. Its inhabitants rediscover themselves as political actors. They cease to be mere objects on the conveyor belt of professionalization.”
“The encampment is a makeshift university. It is a library, a cooperative, a mosque, a synagogue. It is hardly a utopia. Yet it is utopian in the sense that the terms of living that it demands are impossible under existing conditions.” 
Rickford concludes the article:
“The encampment is temporary, but it will surely spawn more ‘counterinstitutions’ able to counteract hegemonic values, unmask indecency and prefigure the just society. Prototypes of insurgent democracy will flourish as long as anticolonialism and principled internationalism are heretical and silent complicity in genocide remains the price of normalcy.”

Dr. Monger further uses his classroom to intimidate and bully students if they fail to adhere to Cornell’s COVID-19 policies. In a letter from October of 2021, the professor asks for help in identifying a “hook-nosed” student. He threatens to flunk him, as well as another student who allegedly did not wear their mask in class.

In July of 2021, the university <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/20210730-indoor-masks.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated masks to be worn indoors at all times, regardless of vaccination status</a>. Cornell additionally <a href="https://covid.cornell.edu/vaccines/vaccination-cornell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">requires students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend classes</a>.

“I wanted to ask for your help in identifying two oceans students who were photographed with their masks off during the oceans class last Friday.”

Dr. Monger proceeds to detail the physical appearance of both students, stating that one had “a fairly prominent hooked nose.” He threatens to fail both students once they are identified by himself or another student.

“If/when I identify the students, I will be failing both of them for the semester as promised I would in class last Wednesday.”

When the email received significant media attention, Cornell University released a statement defending Dr. Monger.

<a href="https://cals.cornell.edu/monica-cornejo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monica Cornejo</a> is an Assistant Professor of Interpersonal Communication at Cornell University. According to her university profile, Cornejo’s research “uses qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine the structural barriers that lead to inequities among undocumented immigrants, how undocumented immigrants draw on communication identity management and advocacy strategies to challenge those barriers, and how those strategies relate to undocumented immigrants’ health and wellbeing.”

Cornejo was <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/cornell-professor-melts-ann-coulter-speech-escorted-cops-watch/25228" target="_blank" rel="noopener">escorted out by police</a> after she interrupted Ann Coulter’s “Immigration: The Conspiracy To End America” lecture on Cornell University’s campus in April 2024. During the question portion of the event, Cornejo — wearing a shirt that read “Keep Migrants, Deport The Racists” — stated:
“I’m an assistant professor of communication here, and one of those illegals that you mentioned. I really appreciate you coming in and talking about these issues, that way I get to know how many racist people belong to this University.” 
Afterward, Cornejo <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2024/04/17/ann-coulter-84-appearance-leads-to-faculty-arrest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued to interrupt</a> Coulter’s event, shouting “Racist” and putting up middle fingers in response to many of Coulter’s comments. Coulter eventually called for Cornejo’s removal, and she was arrested on the charge of disorderly conduct.

Cornejo was featured in an April 2023 article by <a href="https://cornellsun.com/2023/04/24/prof-monica-cornejo-shares-experiences-as-an-undocumented-immigrant-in-academia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cornell Daily Sun</a> titled, “Prof. Monica Cornejo Shares Experiences as an Undocumented Immigrant in Academia.” After describing Cornejo as “one of the first undocumented tenure-track faculty members at Cornell,” she was asked how her legal status has inspired her work as a professor.
“When we talk about academia, we have this very exclusive ivory tower, where only certain people get to be brought in and [contribute to the] broader movement to support oppressed and marginalized communities. Being part of that marginalized community has pushed me in that direction to want to make change.” 
Cornejo told the publication she believes the university could do more to help undocumented students. According to The Cornell Daily Sun, “tangible actions that the University could take include creating a center and full-time team to support undocumented students.”

In another interview with the <a href="https://www.petaluma360.com/article/news/from-undocumented-petaluma-student-to-doctor-at-cornell-university/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Petaluma Argus-Courier</a>, Cornejo remarked that she negotiated her job offer with Cornell, and her acceptance was contingent on the school petitioning on her behalf for a green card. Cornejo said the university agreed to her demands and paid to hire her a lawyer for the petition process.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/esau-mccaulley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Esau McCaulley</a> is an Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College.
Dr. McCaulley recently wrote a book titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reading-While-Black-American-Interpretation/dp/083085486X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Reading While Black.”</a> The Atlantic describes the book as grappling with the question of how God “views racism and police violence, and how Christians can find hope in moments of profound grief about how Black people are treated in America.”
In October 2020, Dr. McCaulley <a href="https://www.holypost.com/post/425-reading-the-bible-while-black-with-esau-mccaulley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on a podcast called the Holy Post</a> to discuss his new book. Chapter 2 of the book is titled “New Testament and the Theology of Policing.” Dr. McCaulley discussed how Christians focus on Romans 13’s command to submit to ruling authorities. However, he says that the apostle Paul, the assumed author of the book of Romans, builds this premise on the idea that if you have done nothing evil, then you have nothing to fear. He goes on to say that black Americans who have done nothing wrong have to live in fear and that it is “intellectually dishonest” to say otherwise.
Dr. McCaulley writes an op-ed column for the New York Times. In April 2021, he wrote an op-ed titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210421013748/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/20/opinion/derek-chauvin-verdict-floyd.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“How I’m Talking to My Kids About the Derek Chauvin Verdict.”</a> In the article, he discusses how “cruel America can be to Black bodies” and his relief that Derek Chauvin was found guilty.
In the same op-ed, he mentions how he has recently begun his Wheaton classes with discussions of anti-Asian racism, the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6th, and officer-involved shootings.
In a similar op-ed from May 2020—titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210822122943/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/10/opinion/ahmaud-arbery-justice.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Ahmaud Arbery and the America That Doesn’t Exist”</a>—he discusses how he fears going for runs in predominantly white neighborhoods. He talks about the distrust that Black people feel towards the justice system and appeals for the country to “take responsibility for its devaluation of blackness and its complicity in violence against black bodies.” He also shares his belief that black people in America are seen as menaces instead of “fully human beings.”
In July 2021, he wrote a column titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220417192346/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/18/opinion/racism-christianity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why Christians Must Fight Systemic Racism.”</a> In the article, he says that racism is still alive and well in the United States. Dr. McCaulley says that Christians should consider that they may have biases that they’re unaware of and that training in potential hidden biases could be an opportunity for growth.
In an article for the Washington Post titled <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/23/why-it-matters-if-your-bible-was-translated-by-racially-diverse-group/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Why it matters if your Bible was translated by a racially diverse group,”</a> Dr. McCaulley argues that women and people of color often have not been included in the translation process. He advocates for black churches to join with other Christians of color and sympathetic white churches to write their own translation of the Bible.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/nathan-cartagena/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Luis Cartagena</a> is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wheaton College. Dr. Cartagena has dedicated his career to teaching Christians critical race theory (CRT) and advocates for the Church to adopt it as standard, Christian doctrine. 

In the article, “<a href="https://www.worldoutspoken.com/articles-blog/is-your-bible-anti-black" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Your Bible Anti-Black?</a>,” he accuses the King James Version (KJV) of containing “anti-blackness.” Dr. Cartagena writes that as the Bible was translated into Western languages “white supremacy, anti-blackness,” and ”European Imperialism” were embedded into the KJVs. He recommends that diverse teams of ethnic, racial, and cultural scholars be formed to purge the “historic idolatry of whiteness” from the KJV and other biblical translations.         

In an article for <a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/critical-race-theory-christians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faithfully Magazine</a>, Dr. Cartagena writes that CRT is necessary to understand that America is a “racialized society.” Lamenting that many preachers won’t adopt anti-racist practices, Cartagena describes this as the Church’s “betrayal” against the “racialized minority.” 

Dr. Cartagena insists that Christians share common interests with critical race theorists. As Christ called his followers to stand with the marginalized, he writes, Christians must now stand with oppressed minorities:  

“How should Christians respond to these common interests and conclusions? They should begin by recalling that Christ and the apostles call the Church to foster justice and mercy, giving special attention to the marginalized and oppressed (see Matthew 25; James 1). Because marginalization and oppression in pigmentocracies operate along racialized lines, Christians should share the common interests of critical race theorists.” 

Critical race theory is an integral component of Dr. Cartagena’s faith. In a separate article, titled, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/i-found-christs-liberating-spirit-critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I Found Christ’s Liberating Spirit on Critical Race Theory</a>,” he states that CRT was necessary to “decolonize” his mind. Dr. Cartagena writes that his love for God grew only after learning of the Church’s “racist colonial and imperial practices.” 

During a separate interview for the online magazine, “<a href="https://sojo.net/articles/why-nathan-cartagena-teaches-critical-race-theory-evangelicals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sojourners</a>,” Dr. Cartagena states that he felt “prompted by the spirit” to teach CRT. He further characterizes the Holy Spirit of the Trinity as an “agent of race-conscious liberation.”

“I’m thinking in distinctively trinitarian terms about how the Spirit is actually an agent of race-conscious liberation. The Spirit is going to help us see these racialized structures.”

Dr. Cartagena describes many of his students as “racialized white folks” and resistant to anti-racist practices. CRT is therefore needed, or so he argues, to remove their false ideas from “white evangelical spaces.” 

Dr. Cartagena also berates white Christians, accusing them of upholding white supremacy within the church. In one tweet, he alleges that Christians worship the God of white supremacy. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
White supremacy is a god that demands human sacrifice and gorges itself on the least of these.
And many worship it every Sunday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In another article authored by Dr. Cartagena—titled, “<a href="https://faithfullymagazine.com/white-man-leading-party-church/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The White Man Leading the White Man’s Party and the White Church</a>”—he derides white evangelicals as ignorant for supporting conservatives for public office. He refers to the “white church” as a pejorative, accusing it of being complicit in conservatives’ “strategic gendered racism.” 

The Professor Watchlist Team worked reached out to Cartagena for comment but has not received a response prior to publication.

<a href="https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/joseph-cochran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph (Joey) Cochran</a> is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Wheaton College. According to his university profile, Cochran teaches numerous courses including “American History to 1865,” “American History Since 1865,” and “The Rise of Evangelicalism.”

In October 2023, Cochran penned an article titled “The Israel-Hamas Attack and the Evangelical Christian Response.” He believes, “Israel has the right to seek restitution and justice for the international crimes committed against its people, but Israel should not be permitted to commit pernicious war crimes themselves as they achieve their aims.”

Cochran also believes the <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/10/the-israel-hamas-attack-and-the-evangelical-christian-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lands given to Palestine should be protected from Israel</a> and, if necessary, the Gerald F. Ford Carrier Strike Group should be used “as a deterrent to restrain Israel from overreach.”

Professor Cochran disagrees with many evangelical Christians who, through their public statements, have indicated a “united front against Hamas and unequivocal support of Israel.” He claims, “The current escalating rhetoric and tenor of evangelical Christians, who have invested themselves in this conflict, has tipped toward religiously prejudicial and genocidal attitudes.”

Cochran discusses the Just War theory, defined by Russell Moore as a theory “which holds that war is always awful, but—under certain, very limited circumstances—can be morally justified.” In response, Cochran writes:
“Just War theory has long been employed by evangelicals and the U.S. to justify and cultivate an industry complex of war. While Just War theory is a helpful premise to protect one’s people, it also can be used as an exploitative means to opportunistically justify offensives that gain territorial and material advantages.” 
Three days after posting the article, he <a href="https://twitter.com/Ptr_StephenFein/status/1713665678224523655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> on an <a href="https://twitter.com/jtcochran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account that has now been made private</a>:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3238" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-10-31-at-3.05.23-PM-1024x679.png" alt="" width="640" height="424" />

This is not the first time Cochran has shared his thoughts on “white privilege.” In April 2023, he wrote an article titled, “<a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2023/04/second-amendment-rights-is-about-protecting-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Second Amendment Rights Is About Protecting White Supremacy</a>.” He believes that firearm possession throughout history has been a “racialized phenomenon.” He writes:
“Though microbial pathogens played their role in wiping out Amerindians across the Eastern Woodlands to the Great Lakes basin, the gun trade played its role in Indian on Indian genocidal acts of gun violence, no different than how Whites have apathetically viewed black on black gun violence in predominantly black communities during the latter twentieth and early twenty-first century.” 
He argues that the real reason people are against giving up their Second Amendment rights is due to the “disempowering effect it has for white men.”
“While many people think and argue that preserving this right is about protecting the right to sports, like marksmanship or hunting, or preserving the right to defend one’s home, in reality, the unspoken reason is that this right is symbolic of the sacred idol of white supremacy in our history.” 
“Altering this law is an admission that white men no longer have the power to protect their lives from ‘others’ who threaten them, and they no longer have the right to manipulate gun policy to protect their power, or, when all else fails, to take the lives of those they historically despised as heathens or oppressed as slaves.”

Arizona State University Professor David Boyles—who <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while”—appeared to physically assault a Turning Point USA Frontlines cameraman.  

TPUSA’s Frontlines team confronted Boyles after <a href="https://azfreenews.com/2023/09/meet-the-asu-professor-behind-arizonas-drag-queen-story-hour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learning</a> that he founded the Arizona chapter of Drag Queen Story Hour. Boyles refused to respond to the Frontlines reporter who asked how long he’d had the obsession with sex education and why he felt children should be exposed to drag queens.

The video of Boyles assaulting the cameraman can be viewed below:

“Boyles established Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona in 2019, a chapter of the national Drag Queen Story Hour organization…Boyles has been featured in several ‘The Art of Drag’ events alongside one of his drag queen storytellers…The most recent event occurred on Wednesday [September 20, 2023].  During the <a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presentation</a>, Boyles said that the notion that drag shows are harmful to children was a ‘myth.’ He also said that drag queens have been long considered the leaders of LGBTQ+ communities.”

During “<a href="https://youtu.be/RN0Bou3wmxk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Art of Drag</a>” talk, Boyles claimed Drag Queen Story Hour-Arizona has been “targeted by acts of violence” and “neo-Nazis showing up to disrupt events.” He also presented what he believed to be the beginning of drag culture in America using the newspaper clip featured below:

On May 16, 2023, Boyles <a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queer-joy-summer-planting-3-promote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a blog</a> - “Queer Joy Summer Planting #3: Promote Radical Queer Sex Education” - in which he stated he was “trying to plant more queer joy in the world.” He also said:

“Sex education is a topic I’ve been obsessed with for a while…In 2021, I did a three-part ‘<a href="https://angelictroublemakers.substack.com/p/queering-sex-ed-part-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queering Sex Ed</a>’ series on the history of sex education in America and the ways in which it has traditionally erased queer people, as well as the ways in which queer people have resisted this erasure and cared for their communities by creating their own sex ed underground.”

In the “Queer Sex Ed” blog, Boyles also wrote that sex education has been traditionally racist since “black people and immigrants were typically viewed as being sexually promiscuous and aggressive and sex education was designed to keep good white kids from being ‘infected’ by them.”

<a href="https://cronkite.asu.edu/about/faculty-and-leadership/faculty/gilgerbio">Kristin Gilger</a> is the Reynolds Professor of Business Journalism and the interim dean at the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University (ASU). She is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Crying-Newsrooms-Learned/dp/1538121492">“There’s No Crying in Newsrooms”</a> and has served in various roles at ASU since 2002.

Gilger has been mired in controversy since assuming her role as dean this past summer. The previous candidate, Sonya Forte Duhe, was replaced by Gilger after <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/after-tweet-supporting-good-police-officers-arizona-state-revokes-journalism-dean-offer/">her offer was rescinded by the university</a>. After tweeting an image that was considered too positive towards police officers, Duhe was condemned by university faculty for showing “poor judgment.”

Gilger has come under fire after pressuring Rae’Lee Klein, a senior journalism major, and station manager for ASU’s Blaze radio, to resign from her position after <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/28/this-is-why-jacob-blake-had-a-warrant-out-for-his-arrest/?preview_id=16209831">tweeting and soon deleting a New York Post article</a> detailing the warrant issued for Jacob Blake’s arrest;

“Always more to the story, folks. Please read this article to get to the background of Jacob Blake’s warrant. You’ll be quite disgusted“ 

Blake—who was wanted for sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend—was shot in the back by police after resisting arrest and allegedly reaching for a knife on the floor of his car.

Facing immediate backlash for her tweet, the Board of Directors at the station <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/18/arizona-student-journalist-cancelled-over-jacob-blake-tweet/">voted unanimously to remove her from her position</a>. Later releasing a statement, the board announced that “Blaze Radio firmly believes that Black Lives Matter.”

“The board gave Klein an opportunity to step down under her own will. As of the time of this statement, Klein has not made the decision to resign…In light of this, we do not recognize Rae'Lee Klein as the station manager of Blaze Radio.”  

Gilger has claimed that the University is not moving to remove Klein. In a statement to the New York Post, Gilger stated that Klein is not being targeted by the university for her views.

“Any actions that are unfolding are not punishment for a tweet. I have been clear with Rae’Lee that she would not be removed as station manager of Blaze Radio, a student internet radio station, because of the views she expressed,”  

However, in email exchanges between Klein and Gilger, she did in fact act to pressure Klein to resign, contrary to her statement.

In their exchange (pictured below) Gilger clearly states that Klein remaining in her position, “is not an option,” as she had lost the confidence of the board.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-909" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.18.44-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="366" />

&nbsp;

Although suggesting new roles that Klein may assume, Gilger cites the "Media Guidelines for Student Journalists" to warn her to refrain in the future from posting information “that could call into question your ability to act independently as a journalist.” This seems to contradict Gilger’s claim that Klein was not being targeted by the university for her views.

&nbsp;

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-910" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.24.32-PM.png" alt="" width="317" height="500" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-911 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-4.51.32-PM-1-e1601512111513.png" alt="" width="339" height="642" /><img class="aligncenter wp-image-912 size-full" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Screen-Shot-2020-09-30-at-5.27.15-PM.png" alt="" width="342" height="540" />

&nbsp;

At this time, Klein has refused to step down from her role, and officially remains the station’s manager.

Update: In February of 2021, Klein announced that she <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/college-pays-settlement-conservative-student-ousted-manager-role/">has reached a settlement with Gilger</a> over a lawsuit she had filed against ASU several months prior.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
UPDATE: I am happy to announce we've reached a resolution with Arizona State University for events that took place in September. With the support of my attorney, Jack Wilenchik, and countless other individuals, I am proud to have stood up, fought back and eventually, won.

According to a <a href="https://newsroom.asu.edu/press/statement-latest-update-asu-and-klein-story-0">statement released by ASU</a>, the University agreed to pay Klein a total of $7,040 for "reimbursement of her school fees."

<a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asao Inoue</a> is a professor and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Equity and Inclusion in the College of Integrative Science and Arts at Arizona State University. According to his University biography, Inoue’s <a href="https://cisa.asu.edu/node/7955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> focuses on “antiracist and social justice theory and practices in writing assessments.”

Prior to his role at Arizona State, Inoue served as the Director of the Writing Center at the University of Washington-Tacoma. As Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/college-writing-center-declares-american-grammar-a-racist-unjust-language-structure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Inoue <a href="\&quot;https://stjenglish.com/standing-against-racism-in-the-field-of-writing-dr-asao-inoue-uw-tacoma/\&quot;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commissioned</a> an anti-racist poster in an effort to ensure that his staff did not “embrace racist practices.” Inoue maintains that racism is embedded in the English language as well as in society itself, writing that “racism is the normal condition of things.

<img class="size-large wp-image-1502 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135650.565-e1628629052457-1024x391.png" alt="" width="580" height="221" />

According to the text of the poster, recorded by The College Fix, Inoue writes that his goal is to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-writing-center-combats-racist-unjust-language-structures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help students become more critical of “unjust language structures”</a> in order to succeed in what Inoue claims is a racist society.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1501 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T135356.265-e1628628890970-1024x296.png" alt="" width="580" height="168" />

Inoue would later author a book on his beliefs titled, “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom.” In an excerpt from the book, Inoue declares that he focuses on grading students for their efforts, and not the “quality” of their writing.

“This book focuses on one kind of grading contract, one that calculates final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality of their writing.”

As Daily Wire reports, Inoue writes that his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arizona-state-dean-grading-writing-based-on-quality-is-racist-promotes-white-language-supremacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beliefs and teaching practices are based on “critical-race theory,” or “labor-based theory.”</a>As Breitbart documents, c<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ritical race theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism</a> that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy.

He writes further that grading students only perpetuates white supremacy.

“The traditional purposes and methods used for grading writing turn out to be de facto racist and White supremacist….Grading by a standard, thus, is how White language supremacy is perpetuated in schools”

Inoue also draws an analogy between issuing grades for English and the institution of slavery, stating that grading is a “slave-making mechanism.”

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1504 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-08-10T140031.897-e1628629269866-1024x317.png" alt="" width="580" height="180" />

Inoue believes that even the physical proximity of white people causes racism. In a YouTube video of Inoue speaking before the 2019 Convention of the National Council of Teachers of English, Inoue <a href="https://youtu.be/brPGTewcDYY?t=994" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states that even the presence of white people “perpetuates racism.</a>”

&nbsp;

Inoue delivered this speech while <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving as the Conference Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication</a>, which bills itself as the <a href="https://cccc.ncte.org/cccc/about/chairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">largest professional organization for researching and teaching writing composition</a>. It is the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of English, which <a href="https://ncte.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts over 25,000 English and Language Arts teachers as members all over the country</a>.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Inoue for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

<a href="https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/597528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Lorraine Moya Salas</a> is an Instructor in the <a href="https://socialwork.asu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Social Work</a> at <a href="https://campus.asu.edu/dohttps://campus.asu.edu/downtown-phoenixwntown-phoenix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University - Downtown Phoenix</a>.

During a lecture in one of her courses—titled, “Foundations of Social Work”—Dr. Lorraine can be heard describing the United States as a “white supremacist system,” that was founded for the benefit of white people at the expense of Native Americans and people of color.

In the class—recorded and provided exclusively to the Professor Watchlist team by an anonymous source—Dr. Salas urges her students to confront the “implicit biases” present in themselves and American society. Claiming that stereotypes and prejudices construct implicit bias, she warns that unconscious actions can cause serious harm.

Attempting to provide an example to bolster her claim, Dr. Salas states that implicit bias causes doctors to act as if their black patients are slaves. She proceeds to cite a study that claims doctors give less pain medication to black patients as compared to white ones.

Dr. Salas alleges this is the product of the legacy of slavery; slave owners viewed blacks as subhuman and able to withstand a large amount of pain, so therefore doctors continue to believe that blacks can withstand a large amount of pain. Doctors will therefore prescribe black patients less pain medication.

&nbsp;

Dr. Salas additionally cites a study that claims teachers will call on boys more often than girls in their classrooms. She claims this as proof that teachers think boys answer questions correctly more often than girls.

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lorraine-Moya-Salas-Part-1_2.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Salas alleges that numerous racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in society are a result of implicit bias. She urges her students, as future social workers, to confront their own implicit biases and assigns an “implicit bias test” for them to complete before the next class.

Dr. Salas additionally claims that institutional racism produces inequality and disparities, attributing it to the legacy of slavery in the Americas. Although acknowledging that all cultures practiced slavery, she claims that no slave trade was enforced along racial lines until the Europeans did so in order to specifically oppress people of color.

Citing slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and discriminatory, Jim Crow laws, Dr. Salas claims that  America was constructed as a “white supremacist culture” for the sole benefit of white people who have maintained their “white power structures” ever since.

&nbsp;

In the accompanying slides, Dr. Salas cites Critical Race Theory to define white supremacy as a, “political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level”.

As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2012/03/11/what-is-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro writes in Breitbart News</a>, Critical Race Theory is an intellectual branch of Marxism that views America and all of its institutions as being infected with white supremacy—to the point of some, including <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/nikolehannahjones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a>, even <a href="https://reason.com/2020/09/23/1619-project-nikole-hannah-jones-1776-founding-race-new-york-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> America’s real founding was in 1619 when the first slave stepped foot in North America, and not 1776 when the American colonies declared independence from England.

Dr. Salas had previously published a paper on critical theory, titled, “Critical Theory: Pathway from Dichotomous to Integrated Social Work Practice.” In it, she urges social <a href="https://socialwork.rutgers.edu/file/4791/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workers to embrace critical theory in order to accomplish social justice</a> “at all levels of practice.”

Dr. Salas further states that while people of color can hold prejudiced views, they cannot be racist as they have no institutional power in a system that values whiteness. She urges white students in the class to be “allies” in order to help minorities access the resources available to them by way of “white privilege.”

The full audio of the lecture is provided below.

The Professor Watchlist Team reached out to Dr. Salas prior for comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.

In 2019, Cooper founded the “<a href="https://katelyncooper1.wixsite.com/bioedlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Biology Education Research Lab</a>” because she, as a gay woman, was “worried about biology research not being inclusive enough of “LGBTQ+ people,” according to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/inclusive-lab-for-lgbt-students-created-by-arizona-state-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">College Fix. </a>

Cooper is “upset that heterosexual white [men] dominate the biological sciences.” She told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/nbc-out-proud/professor-making-biology-education-inclusive-lgbtq-undergrads-rcna28813" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that “The goal isn’t just to make classrooms more inclusive, she explained, but to bring more diversity to a field that has traditionally been dominated by straight white men.” 

Cooper also told NBC News her hopes for collegiate science education: “Cooper said science educators can make their classrooms more inclusive by being openly supportive of LGBTQ students.” According to Cooper, “Educators can, for example, put an inclusivity statement on their syllabus or website, foster safe environments for students to reveal their LGBTQ identities and familiarize themselves with on-campus LGBTQ resources in case students come to them for support.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/291312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashad Shabazz</a> is an Associate Professor of African American Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University (ASU). Shabazz’s university profile says his “academic expertise brings together human geography, black cultural studies, gender studies, and critical prison studies.” He also holds a Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California-Santa Cruz.

Shabazz teaches several race-based courses including “<a href="https://webapp4.asu.edu/bookstore/viewsyllabus/2227/88026">AFR301:</a> Race and Racism in the Black Diaspora.” The course description says, 

“Through slave rebellion in Haiti, black notions of freedom, black ideas of ‘being,’ and what on thinker calls ‘black reason,’ this class aims to show that race and racism is more than a tapestry of dominion, but…a reservoir of revolutionary ideas that…transform the world.”

In response to the killing of Tyre Nichols - a black man who was arrested and beaten and later died in the custody of black police officers - Shabazz <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-police-officers-arent-colorblind-theyre-infected-by-the-same-anti-black-bias-as-american-society-and-police-in-general-198721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published an article</a> in The Conversation entitled, “Black police officers aren’t colorblind–they’re infected by the same anti-black bias as American society and police in general.”

In the article, Shabazz argued, “Policing in the U.S. has, from its inception, treated Black people as domestic enemies. From slave patrols…to the murder of George Floyd, and now the death of Nichols, law enforcement officers often have viewed black people as what…W.E.B. Du Bois called a ‘problem.’”

He continued, “It’s hard to investigate the minds of the officers who beat Nichols so savagely and say for sure what motivated them. But there is ample research that suggests anti-blackness is a factor in American policing. And black officers, agents of an institutionally racist system, are affected by this.”

McCall’s biography says her research “centers on how race, class and culture impact educational equity in music learning and teaching.”

<a href="https://news.asu.edu/20210721-critical-race-theory-scholar-joins-asu-school-music-dance-and-theatre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ASU News</a> announced McCall’s position in 2021, stating that she was “one of the few scholars whose music education research focuses on race and racism through critical race theory [CRT] and double consciousness theory…”

The article goes on to say that McCall was the only African-American student to earn a doctorate in music education from ASU. McCall also reportedly said that she feels she can offer “an informed perspective based on experience and expertise” that can optimize K-12 learning experiences.

In July 2022, McCall was featured in a <a href="https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/critical-race-theory-music-education/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Classic FM article</a> titled, “Music professor breaks down [CRT] and why it’s crucial for 21st-century music education.” McCall told the publication:

“‘[CRT] is a tool that was conceptualized and born out of critical legal studies as a means to analyze, critique and to help dismantle racism…Even though…we like to think of ourselves as being more progressive and more innovative…When you look at a university curriculum in America, it gives you a really nice snapshot of Western Europe.’”

She informs readers of her experiences as an “African American in music education…whose structures and social actors attempted to silence [her] voice.” Although McCall experienced notable success and received much encouragement throughout her pursuits, she wrote: 

“Despite my professors and peers at ASU ensuring me that I was in a safe place, I didn’t believe it because I knew that outside of ASU, society viewed my voice differently and that the profession did not want to hear what I had to say. These were my perceptions…”

“We use ‘Latinx’ as a gender-neutral reference to the people of Latin-American heritage. To not negate gendered experiences, we use Latino/Latina, or Chicano/a when acknowledging individuals or past research identifying with these gendered identities … Although both ‘Black’ and ‘Latinx’ are politicized categories, we recognize the reality of the identities are diverse, intersecting, and fluid.”

The statement was crafted after the October 7 Hamas attacks against Israel. 

Truthout said, “Hundreds of academics from universities and institutions of higher learning from … across North America have signed on to a joint letter, calling on their governments to demand Israeli ceasefire in Gaza … The signers, calling themselves ‘Educators for Palestine,’ are Palestinian academics and their allies who denounce Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

“We have paid careful attention to consistent invocations of children in public officials’ responses to and media portrayals of the attack in Israel on October 7, which took 1400 lives. We mourn this loss of life, and we are also struck by the ways that this concern for children does not extend to the unspeakable number of Palestinian children’s lives taken by Israeli state violence, harmed by apartheid rule, and traumatized by intergenerational experiences of settler colonial dispossession for over [75] years.”

 “‘I wasn’t a good fit for the ‘SportsCenter’ culture. Definitely not a good fit for the management that was overseeing the ‘SportsCenter’ at the time. And I got tired. I got really tired of fighting everyday to be myself … It’s the conservative culture at ESPN and so this idea that ESPN is being run by flower children is just a lie. That’s not how it is. It’s the opposite, if anything …

According to Portillo’s biography, “Her work helps scholars and practitioners understand how inequities are institutionalized in public organizations … [She also] served as co-chair of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Commission on Racial Equity and Justice.”

Portillo’s <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Kw7ABu8AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published works</a> include topics such as “Social Equity,” “Law &amp; Society,” and “Street-Level Bureaucracy.” She co-authored a paper entitled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advancing Social Equity in the Minnowbrook Tradition</a>,” which discussed the “goals of valuing social equity and using it as a guide in managing public programs.” 

In her work, Portillo refers to a meeting called Minnowbrook I that took place following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. According to the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook 50 Social Equity Manifesto</a>, “[A] group of public administration scholars met to reflect on the implications of the social and environmental circumstances for [their] discipline … [Their] call to action … focused on ways to intersect and integrate social equity in the research, teaching, and practice of public administration.”
In the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G6j6mAfv3ycBqEtPvz4qR70Tjk8GBjgH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnowbrook paper,</a> Portillo et al. wrote:
“In 40 years since Minnowbrook I, the concern for social equity has grown to the point where it now occupies a firm place within the academy … However, despite its growth and general acceptance as a core area of research and concern, evidence of gross societal inequities in the United States and the global community abound.”
Portillo was featured in the <a href="https://news.ku.edu/news/article/2022/02/17/public-administration-should-consider-effects-whiteness-masculinity-well-representation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KU News article</a> titled “Public administration should consider effects of whiteness, masculinity as well as presentation, researchers say,” where she offered her perspective on gender and racial discrimination in the industry.

Portillo states that during President Woodrow Wilson’s term, a push for segregation led to discrimination and the “normalization of white men in bureaucratic roles.” Any truth in this statement is neutralized by her contradictory claim that “[w]hite men have been in charge pretty much forever,” and, at the same time, “[w]e need more empirical evidence” to know whether white men in leadership have helped or harmed professional communities.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/4219914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lydia HaRim Ahn</a> is an Assistant Professor in Counseling and Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University. According to her university profile, Ahn’s academic interests include the following:

“1) examining the detrimental effects of racism and oppression on marginalized communities with an emphasis on within group differences, 2) developmental protective and risk factors between racism and health outcomes with a focus on ethnic-racial socialization and parenting, and 3) enhancing positive psychological outcomes and change through psychotherapy, evidence-based videos, and prevention and intervention programming.” 
In February, Ahn and Thomas P. Le co-wrote an <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Asian American Women’s Racial Dating Preferences: An Investigation of Internalized Racism, Resistance and Empowerment against Racism, and Desire for Status.” In the abstract for the article, the authors state their purpose for writing it: 
“To further understand racialized desire among this underrepresented population, the present study examined the extent to which three sociocultural factors (i.e., internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status) were associated with two attraction outcome variables (i.e., dating preferences, physical attraction) across four racial categories of men: Asian men, Black men, Latino men, and White men.” 
They claim the factors of “internalized racism, resistance and empowerment against racism, and desire for status” have caused Asian American women to have a “stronger dating preference toward White men and weaker dating preference and physical attraction to Asian men.”  

In a section of the article titled “Internalized Racism,” the authors address their research on male dating preferences based on race. Focusing on Asian American women, the authors state that the demographic faces “gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism.” They then focus on the differences between Asian and white men with regard to Asian women and dating: 
“Asian American women have reported a desire to date White men for the sake of economic security, as well as to assimilate into White American society, even if their White male partners engaged in racial fetishization of Asian women (Nemoto, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR50" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2006</a>). This preference may promote stereotypes of Asian American men as undesirable and perpetually foreign (Wong &amp; McCullough, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a>) and Black and Latino men as inferior to white men (Cascalheira &amp; Smith, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020</a>). Furthermore, Asian American women face gendered racism (Gamst et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR15" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023</a>), or experiences of discrimination that are based upon the intersections of their race and gender, which contributes to their disempowerment and negative self-worth within the United States (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>).”
The authors conclude their study:
“Overall, our findings highlight how Asian American women’s romantic and intimate desires may be shaped by internalized racism, resistance and empowerment, and desire for social status. Asian American women face gendered racial microaggressions and model minority stereotypes that produce internalized racism (Ahn et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022</a>; Juang et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018</a>; Wei et al., <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-024-01450-9#ref-CR68" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008</a>).”

Lober also serves as the director of ASU’s Academy of Lactation Programs and the clinical research director at Banner University Medical Center–Phoenix.

During an ASU presentation in March 2023, Lober pointed out that part of the Lactation Programs vision is to “normalize breastfeeding and human milk feeding as an act of social justice and health promotion.”

On August 30, 2024, Lober was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/u-s-hates-women-faces-future-of-cannibalism-forced-breeding-camps-asu-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> entitled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” Lober partnered with ASU Professor <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/jennyirish" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenny Irish</a> who <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">organized an event</a> to discuss abortion.

According to The Fix, “Lober opened the one-hour moderated discussion by stating she ‘got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.’” 

The School Board Watchlist did not uncover the original audio from the event. However, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/cannibalism-forced-breeding-professors-fearmonger-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Live Action </a>pointed out:
“Lober also argued that she is discouraging her children from having children, and said the decline in birth rates is a good thing—because the planet is overpopulated. Yet, ironically, the ASU <a href="https://asuevents.asu.edu/event/jenny-irishs-hatch-speculative-future-reproductive-rights?eventDate=2024-08-28&amp;id=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events page</a> states that Lober’s ‘research is focused on establishing lactation and breastfeeding as a public health imperative’ and that she ‘is dedicated to working for a better world for families’...How, exactly does not create a better world for families or better health for children by encouraging abortion?”
Conservative lawyer and journalist, Jonathan Turley, <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/01/the-united-states-hates-women-asu-event-offers-dystopian-anti-capitalist-vision-of-america/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a> Lober in an article titled “‘The United States Hates Women’: ASU Event Offer Dystopian, Anti-Capitalist Vision of America.” Reflecting on Lober’s resolution for a future America without abortion, Turley said she called for the audience “to help ‘dismantle capitalism’ and ‘elect a female president.’”

Since the event, Lober has not commented publicly on her role in the conversation with Irish. Based on mainstream media reactions, both professors are committed to espousing anti-American and anti-family values.

The KJZZ host asked Irish to comment on her “associations” with the King novel “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Stephen-King/dp/1984898108/ref=asc_df_1984898108/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=692875362841&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=14364719003284224040&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvtargid=pla-2281435178818&amp;psc=1&amp;mcid=d9f4354e402c38979d3d64dbfc2a5893&amp;hvocijid=14364719003284224040-1984898108-&amp;hvexpln=73" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a>”—the story of a high school outcast with telekinetic powers who eventually murders her bullying classmates by setting the town on fire. 

Irish responded to the interviewer stating:
“‘Carrie’ is amazing in the fact that [it] was written 50 years ago, but there’s so much about it that feels pretty tragically contemporary. If Carrie White had had access to a decent sex ed class, the town of Chamberlain, Maine, would still be standing…[I]t’s not hard to think about that in the midst I feel of our current kind of sociopolitical moment, where there’s such an assault on bodily autonomy and considerations of the rights of people to define their own identity and their own bodies and their relationships to them.”

According to <a href="https://nupress.northwestern.edu/9780810146969/hatch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwestern University Press</a>:
“The prose poems in Jenny Irish’s newest collection, Hatch, trace the consciousness of an artificial womb that must confront the role she has played in the continuation of the dying of the human species. This apocalyptic vision engages with the most pressing concerns of this contemporary sociopolitical moment: reproductive rights, climate crises, and mass extinction; gender and racial bias in healthcare technology…and the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence.”
In the following excerpt, Irish appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective.

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/843137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Owen Anderson</a> is a Professor in the School of Humanities at Arizona State University. He teaches courses focused on philosophy, morality, and religion. As a Christian in a secular institution, Dr. Anderson has been subjected to discrimination and exclusion by the college. 

On September 20, 2024, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix featured</a> Anderson in an article titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” Quoting Dr. Anderson’s phone interview, the Fix wrote:
“If a class does not have a general education designation, most students won’t enroll and his college will be hesitant to offer it because it won’t attract many students.” 
Dr. Anderson’s Intro to Christianity class was canceled because he said ASU “[doesn’t] want it taught from a Christian perspective.” He provided The Fix with a member from ASU <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/juliasarreal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associate Professor Julia Sarreal</a> who said, “The syllabus reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kids of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need.”

In an <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom">interview with Turning Point USA</a>, Dr. Anderson stated that he, and his colleagues, were asked to “decolonize” their course syllabi. He described decolonization according to ASU’s definition:
“Decolonize means you become aware of any Western, and especially Christian, influences in your syllabus, and you replace those with what they would call ‘Indigenous people’s perspectives.’ Decolonizing comes out of a communist philosophy…It’s a political philosophy that’s being adopted by ASU to push on the students.”
During the interview, Dr. Anderson also said since he teaches world religions and philosophies, he believes his courses are culturally diverse, therefore, his lesson plans don’t need to be revised.

On March 19, 2024, Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Complaint-Final-with-exhibits.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint</a> with the Arizona Board of Regents after ASU mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training for faculty and staff members. In <a href="https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/case/dismantling-asus-discriminatory-dei-regime/">partnership</a> with the Goldwater Institute, he brought the lawsuit to prohibit the college from using race, ethnicity, or sex—which goes against state and federal laws—to hire and retain employees.

In a June 18 <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/06/my-university-required-dei-training-im-suing/">opinion editorial</a> titled “My University Required DEI Training. I’m Suing,” Dr. Anderson wrote:
“I’m in favor of each of those terms: Diversity…equity…and inclusion…are undoubtedly good things. But when I began the mandatory training, I found something troubling: It engaged in race blaming, warning of the supposed ‘problem’ of whiteness and encouraged judgment of people based on their skin color. I could not, in good conscience, continue such racist training.”
Dr. Anderson <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/asus-dr-owen-anderson-warns-of-new-policies-threatening-academic-freedom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> TPUSA that he believes these cultural shifts occurred as a result of ASU’s evolving definition of “multiculturalism,” which he also said, “caused respect for Christians to deteriorate on campus.”

Dr. Anderson presents a balanced perspective in the classroom and encourages students to think objectively. He upholds constitutional, conservative values despite pressure and ostracism from fellow ASU faculty and administrators. 
The Professor Watchlist considers Dr. Anderson a good professor. 
Published - September 23, 2024
On January 27, Professor Anderson <a href="https://crossexamined.org/a-guide-to-choosing-a-humanities-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> “A Guide To Choosing a Humanities Professor” for Cross Examined. 

In the guide, Anderson listed a series of qualities and defects found in humanities professors throughout the U.S. that should be sought after or avoided by students. Overall, he says students should pursue a degree that prepares them for life and teaches them to be wise.

Anderson wrote:
“Many professors in these classes don’t know how to teach what is good or what it means to be wise.”
He then explains the purpose of a humanities degree:
“But what about a degree in the humanities? How does it prepare you for life? To do so it would have to teach you what is good for a human life.”
According to Anderson, a humanities degree encourages students to learn and gain wisdom and reach the highest good in life:
“Wisdom is understanding the highest good and knowing how to live your life in a way that helps you reach the good. What is good for a person depends on human nature…The highest good is the ultimate goal we aim for in everything we do. We might have smaller goals along the way, but those are just steps toward something greater. ”
For Anderson, seeking the knowledge of God is an endeavor to reach the highest good that should be embedded into a humanities program:
“Most philosophers agree that the ultimate good for a human is to know God. Thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Locke all point to this idea in their work, even if they describe it in different ways. Even philosophers who don’t use the word “God” often still believe that knowing the highest reality—whatever they call it—is what makes life truly good for a person.”
Anderson cautions students to avoid skeptics and nihilists, ask professors what they believe is good, and find a professor who knows what is good. 

“These three steps will help you determine if a professor is wise and capable of teaching you wisdom,” Anderson wrote.

Even if professors who fit Anderson’s criteria cannot be found, the professor concluded with the following consolation:

“The good news is that you can still graduate without taking their classes.”

Sarreal’s research interests include Latin American Studies, Food, Drugs, and Capitalism. Her top area of expertise is “Consumerism.”

On September 20, 2024, Sarreal was featured in The College Fix <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/christian-professors-intro-to-christianity-class-torpedoed-at-asu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Christian professor’s ‘Intro to Christianity’ class torpedoed at ASU.” The piece covers the cancelation of <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/drowenanderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Dr. Owen Anderson’s</a> religious studies course. 

After the college rejected his class, it was revealed that Sarreal objected to the premise of Christianity being taught on campus. The Fix recorded her comments:

“The <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/771107095/REL-270-Introduction-to-Christianity-ASU-Dr-Owen-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">syllabus</a> reflects a Christian way of teaching Christianity, which is to say the course does not adequately provide the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills that students need to have in order to study religious traditions.”

“Furthermore, the focus on ‘Western Civilization’ is problematic. It is true that Christianity has been ‘influential’ in European history, it has also been deeply influential elsewhere in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.” 

Based on the feedback Sarreal received from Dr. Anderson, it appears she either did not read the syllabus or chose to interpret the lesson plans through an objectionable lens. Sarreal specifically described one of the modules as being “focused on ‘the’ biblical worldview” and called this a “fraught oversimplification.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3924315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruben Espinosa</a> is Professor of English and Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Arizona State University (ASU). According to his faculty profile, Espinosa’s studies are chiefly focused on the work of William Shakespeare. 

On September 16, 2024, ASU’s <a href="https://humanitiesinstitute.asu.edu/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Humanities Institute</a> hosted a panel with Espinosa and Professor Curtis Austin on cultural appropriation concerning the plays of Shakespeare. The <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> is described by the university as such: 
“What constitutes cultural appropriation, and when is it unethical? Should we adopt voices beyond our own, and if so then what factors must be weighed beforehand?”
“Pressing on hard research questions may lead to ethical dilemmas of how to speak in relation to another. This panel will discuss what it means to think, research, and write across cultures and ways of being.”  
In an audio recording of a l<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/arizona-state-u-scholars-condemn-white-ownership-of-shakespeare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecture</a> obtained by the College Fix, Espinosa connected the alleged “white exceptionalism” of January 6 rioters U.S. Capitol protesters to Shakespeare. These two are both claimed to be symbols of “white exceptionalism” and “racial hierarchy.” The professor stated:

“It kind of has this origin in anti-immigrant sentiments, right, all the way to January 6th, when we think about that white exceptionalism, and this notion of a kind of white ownership of Shakespeare.”
Espinosa believes that “Shakespeare is the epitome or the marker of white exceptionalism” and sits at the top of the “racial hierarchy.” Thereby, he attached the poet to “whiteness” exclusively over humanity independent of race. 

In 2021, Espinosa published a book titled “<a href="https://www.routledge.com/Shakespeare-on-the-Shades-of-Racism/Espinosa/p/book/9780367183004">Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism</a>.” The publisher’s description states:
“Shakespeare on the Shades of Racism examines Shakespeare in relation to ongoing conversations that interrogate the vulnerability of Black and brown people amid oppressive structures that aim to devalue their worth. By focusing on the way these individuals are racialized, politicized, policed, and often violated in our contemporary world, it casts light on dimensions of Shakespeare’s work that afford us a better understanding of our ethical responsibilities in the face of such brutal racism.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/1256527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lela Rankin</a> is a professor in the Arizona State University School of Social Work, Tucson. According to her faculty profile, “Rankin’s scholarship focuses on preventive interventions for children and families, particularly in vulnerable populations.”

According to a January report from the <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/maternal-instinct-is-socially-constructed-myth-arizona-state-u-professor-says/">College Fix</a>, in a lecture Rankin claimed that the maternal instinct is a fabricated myth with no biological reality. 

“[T]his idea of this maternal instinct, it struck me as potentially problematic because it really places the primacy on biological mothers, and then it relegates other people…to essentially secondary babysitters or assistants, right?”

The claims in this lecture are based on  research that can be found in a <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0277953624006257#:~:text=We%20did%20not%20find%20empirical,knowledge%20strengthened%20attachment%20over%20time." target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> Rankin co-authored with Haley G. Krouskop b, Maryanne L. Fisher.

In the study, titled “Mother-infant attachment from the perspective of young mothers: Does the data support a maternal instinct?,” the authors claim the following:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We did not find empirical evidence to support an innate maternal instinct.•</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Young mothers' qualitative experiences with attachment at birth were diverse.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Physical touch-based parenting and parental stress impacted the bonding experience.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reciprocity and parenting confidence/knowledge strengthened attachment over time.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mothers developed an “instinct” through repetitive interactions with their infant.”</li>
</ul>
Further addressing the above points, the authors find that no maternal instinct is inherent during the processes of pregnancy and childbirth; rather, a mother infant connection is developed after birth during childcare:

“Despite diverse experiences with felt attachment at birth, all mothers perceived that the mother-infant connection was influenced by contextual factors after birth and was strengthened over time with more care-taking experience. ​​This suggests that mothers likely developed a ‘maternal instinct’ through repetitive interaction with their infant as the primary caretaker rather than a genetic predisposition to be superior nurturing parents.”

In the article’s conclusion, the authors maintain that caregiving and nurturing behaviors are a necessity and should be present during pregnancy or right at childbirth. They cite British psychoanalyst John Bowlby’s concept of attachment theory, among other theorists, in an attempt to backup their claims:  

“If mothers possess an innate instinct for the purposes of bonding, breastfeeding, and other caregiving behaviors… then arguably this instinct should be felt during pregnancy or at childbirth.”

<a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sally L. Kitch</a> is a professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. 

According to her faculty profile, Kitch “specializes in three major research and teaching areas: 
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“[F]eminist theory, including the intellectual history of gender and racial ideology in the U.S. and other countries and the impact of gender representation in visual and narrative culture on the lived realities of diverse women's lives; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">feminist epistemology, the epistemology of the humanities, and theories of interdisciplinary knowledge production; </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">environmental humanities, including the importance of the humanities to sustainability science and the relationship of sustainability to gender and racial ideologies.”  </li>
</ol>
In the aftermath of the US Supreme Court’s 2022 repeal of Roe v. Wade through the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dobbs Decision</a>, Kitch wrote an <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369989167_Reproductive_Rights_and_Ecofeminism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Reproductive Rights and Ecofeminism.” 

Ecofeminism is <a href="https://hcwc.college.harvard.edu/education/workshops/ecofeminism#:~:text=Ecofeminism%2C%20also%20called%20ecological%20feminism,merits%20of%20intuition%20and%20collaboration." target="_blank" rel="noopener">defined</a> as a practice using “the basic feminist tenets of gender equality, a revaluing of non-patriarchal or nonlinear structures, and a view of the world that respects organic processes, holistic connections, and the merits of intuition and collaboration.”

In the article, Kitch aligns herself with ecofeminism, and argues that the “Dobbs decision invites an ecofeminist interpretation of its relationship to the destruction of our planet and to the biopolitics of environmental sustainability.”

The professor claimed that there is a connection between the bodies of women, enslaved, disabled, and racialized people, along with animals and nature as “terrains” of conquest: 

“Ecofeminism in the 2020s links those forces by articulating ‘a clear connection between the treatment of the bodies of women, the enslaved, the disabled, and the racialized, and the treatment of lands, animals, and plants: they are all naturalized terrains of experimentation or conquest.”

The term “ecofascist” is used in the article a few times. Kitch’s cited <a href="https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/4-november-december/feature/eco-fascism-uncovered-el-paso-texas">source</a> defines the term as “violence in the name of environmental conservation.” Kitch further writes on “ecofascists”:

“Many ecofascists in the U.S. oppose action to reduce global warming by eliminating carbon emissions as an affront to white patriarchal/capitalist/colonial power, which allegedly emanates from industrial might and its key driver, fossil fuels (Hernandez-Simmons 2022; Westervelt 2022).”

Kitch is still listed on the ASU faculty site as an active professor, yet the <a href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/970381" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last course</a> she taught was a practicum in 2022.

Jason McCormick is an <a href="https://www.unl.edu/english/docs/cv-mccormick.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adjunct professor</a> at Southeast Community College - Milford and a lecturer at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. His areas of interest include issues of identity, college composition, and developmental composition course structures. He is currently completing his PhD at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln studying rhetoric and composition. He also enjoys writing fiction and has written contributor pieces for publications such as the Huffington Post.<img class="size-large wp-image-1688 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.14.57-PM.png" alt="" width="502" height="176" />

In 2016, McCormick <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/im-a-liberal-professor-and-my-conservative-students_b_5842031de4b0b93e10f8e201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article for the Huffington Post</a> titled, “I’m A Liberal Professor And My Conservative Students Terrify Me.” In the article, McCormick outlines how his conservative students terrify him as an adjunct professor because “when they fail, it’s always personal.” He writes that he isn’t worried about his liberal students because they can have open discussions and work through triggers or disagreements together.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1687 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-26-at-1.16.19-PM.png" alt="" width="438" height="193" />

His conservative students, however, are a different story. He accuses them of throwing out fake arguments with no validity or proof and being hostile towards anyone who disagrees. He claims he was “terrified not to” give their ideas equal space in the classroom. He alleges that conservative students put their personal egos above respect for others in the classroom or factual arguments.

&nbsp;

Besides writing opinion pieces on how “terrifying” conservative students are, he also often takes to Twitter to discuss his disdain for conservatives and his approval of critical race theory. In a tweet from July 2021, McCormick <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonBMcCormick/status/1413471823761592326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented on a tweet </a>regarding the University of Nebraska voting to oppose Critical Race Theory. He commented that the regents should “apologize to every student trying to get a job” because the opposition of CRT “makes us all look bad.”

Dr. Gerard Harbison is an <a href="https://chem.unl.edu/gerard-harbison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emeritus Professor of Chemistry</a> at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. His research interests include Computational Chemistry and NMR Spectroscopy. He has written several educational and research publications for several journals, including the Journal of Molecular Structure and the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry.

When Dr. Harbison isn’t researching the origins of isotopomeric polymorphism, you can find him writing for his personal blog, titled, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/06182552979528991484" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transmillenial</a>. According to his blog, Dr. Harbison identifies as a "millenial, atheist, catholic, feminist, scientist trapped in the body of a much older man.” His blog posts typically perpetuate the same rhetoric - conservatives (and Turning Point USA) are bad.

<a href="http://transmillenial.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-members-of-turning-point-usa-at-unl.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a blog post from October 29, 2021</a>, Dr. Harbison named all of the members of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Turning Point USA chapter and alleged they played a part in funding actions of “terrorists.” He writes, “Turning Point USA love lists. They have a long-standing list of faculty who have not hewn to the conservative way, either by writing stuff unfavorable to Donald Trump, or teaching things conservatives don't want to hear. So, in the spirit of listing and transparency, these are their current members at UNL.”

Dr. Harbison often takes to Twitter to discuss his hatred of conservatives and TPUSA. He accuses Turning Point USA of funding the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, being terrorists, and of being white supremacists. Some examples of these tweets are below:

<a href="https://polisci.unl.edu/ari-kohen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Ari Kohen</a> is the Schlesinger Professor of Social Justice in the <a href="https://polisci.unl.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Political Science</a> at the <a href="https://www.unl.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Nebraska at Lincoln</a>. According to his University biography, his current research interests include social justice education, technology and racism, and “extremist challenges to liberalism.”

In May of 2019, Dr. Kohen accused members of various TPUSA chapters in the state of Nebraska of being white supremacists. In a post on his personal Twitter account, Dr. Kohen asks why the students and former TPUSA staff pictured are flashing “the same white power symbol” as the Christchurch shooter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
This is a serious question for <a href="https://twitter.com/RepDonBacon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepDonBacon</a>: why are some of your former staffers and interns the kind of people who take photos in which they are flashing the same White Power symbol as the New Zealand mass murderer? <a href="https://t.co/cz214DaMJD">pic.twitter.com/cz214DaMJD</a>
— Ari Kohen (@kohenari) <a href="https://twitter.com/kohenari/status/1109118106729881600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Dr. Kohen is referencing a mass shooting that occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand just a few weeks prior to his tweet. During the March 2019 rampage, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53861456" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a terrorist killed 51 and injured 41 Muslim members of two separate mosques across the city</a>.

In the left-most photo of the tweet, members of TPUSA chapters can be seen posing for a photo at an event while making an “ok” sign with their hands. Dr. Kohen juxtaposes the photo with a photo of the gunman making a similar gesture.

Many regard the “ok” sign as a euphemism for signaling the phrase “white power.” Despite persistence by members of the media, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2017/12/29/fake-news-daily-mail-uses-4chan-hoax-to-accuse-white-house-intern-of-being-white-supremacist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the “ok” signal’s connection to white supremacy is a myth</a>. The connection is thought to have originated as a prank from the site 4-chan in 2017.

Dubbed “operation o-kkk,” anonymous users were instructed to spam liberal media outlets and social media platforms to claim the “ok” sign is a symbol for “white power.” Users were then instructed to create anonymous, left-leaning accounts to retweet the prank, simulate outrage at the gesture, and further amplify the campaign.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1819" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-10-18-at-4.16.32-PM.png" alt="" width="500" height="244" />

<a href="https://www.adl.org/blog/how-the-ok-symbol-became-a-popular-trolling-gesture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League has declared the campaign a “hoax.</a>” Despite being widely regarded as fake, Dr. Kohen still maintains that anyone who flashes the sign is a “white nationalist.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
If you're a well-known white nationalist, and you do this 👌in a photo, then I think it's a pretty clear sign of your white nationalism.
— Ari Kohen (@kohenari) <a href="https://twitter.com/kohenari/status/858401353080733697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 29, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

After he was contacted by various media outlets over his comments, Dr. Kohen only proceeded to double down on his accusations. In a series of tweets, he accuses TPUSA and Breitbart News of “weaponizing the internet” over his remarks and again falsely accuses the students of flashing a “white power” sign.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In an hour or two, I’m going to be attacked by a right-wing mob. It’s source will be Turning Point USA and Breitbart. If you’re interested in seeing how these folks weaponize the internet against college professors, here’s some information:
— Ari Kohen (@kohenari) <a href="https://twitter.com/kohenari/status/1110308087880187911?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">March 25, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the past, Dr. Kohen has repeatedly accused conservatives of harboring white nationalist sentiments and of supporting fascism. In a 2019 post on his personal blog, <a href="https://kohenari.net/post/181589676770#notes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he refers to conservative supporters of President Donald Trump as a “cancer.”</a>

<img class="size-large wp-image-1820 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T164917.831-e1637279374636-1024x325.png" alt="" width="580" height="184" />

In the same post, he furthers describes the same conservatives as “proto-fascists”:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1821" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-18T165040.644-e1637279509781-1024x504.png" alt="" width="500" height="246" />

He again insinuates that anyone voting for Donald Trump is a white nationalist in a tweet just before the 2020 general election.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In November, white nationalism is on the ballot. You can vote for it or you can vote against it. I’m going to spend the next 5 months reminding you, every time Trump winks at his Nazi supporters like he did today and the Nebraska Republicans have nothing negative to say about it.
— Ari Kohen (@kohenari) <a href="https://twitter.com/kohenari/status/1263644387394891776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 22, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In a separate tweet, Dr. Kohen expressed his disbelief that conservatives would consider a university campus hostile to their political views.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Turns out you shouldn’t believe the hype from right-wing state senators about the University of Nebraska. Conservative students feel just fine here, according to a Gallup poll we had to commission when higher education got politicized here last year: <a href="https://t.co/UWvwAK6LI1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UWvwAK6LI1</a>

<a href="https://www.unl.edu/wgs/emily-kazyak" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emily Kazyak</a> is an Associate Professor for the Women’s &amp; Gender Studies Program at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Kazyak’s focus is on Sociology and Women’s &amp; Gender Studies. She teaches a variety of courses, such as WMNS 201: Introduction to LGBTQ/Sexuality Studies, WMNS 301: Sexuality and Power, and SOCI/WMNS 226: Families and Society. 

Kazyak has a <a href="https://www.emilykazyak.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> that gives an overview of her research, current projects, publications, and more. Her research focuses on law and sexuality, geography and sexuality, and family and sexuality.

One article featured on her website is titled: “<a href="https://www.salon.com/2013/06/01/why_are_there_no_gay_disney_characters_partner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why are there no gay Disney characters</a>?” 

“Emily Kazyak found that far from being asexual, Disney films are steeped in sexuality — heterosexuality. According to Martin and Kazyak, the plot of Disney films overwhelmingly revolve around heterosexual romance. Heterosexual love — including, of course, the highly esteemed heterosexual kiss — is presented as “exceptional, powerful, magical and transformative.”

&nbsp;
Professor Kazyak has authored many publications, such as:

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211055541" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Pee in Peace” or “Make Everyone Uncomfortable”: Public Perceptions of Transgender Rights:</a> “Moreover, heteronormativity and homophobia are intertwined with gender inequality insofar as masculinity rests on disavowing homosexuality and actively asserting heterosexuality (Pascoe 2007); femininity rests on being what Westbrook and Schilt (2016:384) call a passive tableau on which the achievement... of heterosexuality is enacted… Taken together, these studies demonstrate how transgender people are legible only when they fit within the binary gender system, a system undergirded by homophobia and heteronormativity.”</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1164&amp;context=sociologyfacpub" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hetero-Romantic Love and Heterosexiness in Children’s G-Rated Films</a>: “The authors analyze all the G-rated films grossing $100 million dollars or more between 1990 and 2005 and find two main accounts of heterosexuality. First, heterosexuality is constructed through hetero-romantic love relationships as exceptional, powerful, magical, and transformative. Second, heterosexuality outside of relationships is constructed through portrayals of men gazing desirously at women’s bodies. Both of these findings have implications for our understanding of heteronormativity.”</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://cehs.unl.edu/edpsych/faculty/katie-edwards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katie Edwards</a> is an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She also works in the university’s Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families, and Schools.

Edwards received $203,050 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to create a program called the Teen Connection Program that would <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/nih-funds-program-matching-lgbt-teens-and-adults-for-mentoring-without-parental-consent/24211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">match LGBTQ teenagers with adults</a> for “mentoring”—all without parental consent.

The <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/YTGVSmjRHUeJlUgAHOQcxw/project-details/10649009#details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grant summary</a> states:
“Minority stress theory states that peer and family rejection and internalized transphobia predict deleterious health outcomes in TGMY, underscoring the urgent need to identify effective programs that prevent psychosocial and behavioral health issues among TGMY [transgender and other gender minority youth].” 
The summary also says a problem with similar programs is they “often require guardian permission; generally occur in person via community organizations which precludes TGMY in high stigma, rural areas of the United States from accessing such programs.”

This grant proposes to “complete feasibility and pilot testing of asynchronous, group-delivered eHealth mentoring and skill-building program.” The program will recruit 140 participants between the ages of 14 and 17. Half of the participants will be placed with a mentor and half will be placed on a waitlist as the control group.

The Teen Connection Project launched during the summer of 2023 and it will run until the end of January 2025.

In a rebuttal to Edwards’ program, Nathanael Blake—an ethicist at the Ethics and Public Policy Center—shared concerns with <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-matches-lgbt-adults-with-teens-for-online-mentoring-without-parent-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a>:
“Deliberately pairing adult strangers with children without parental knowledge, let alone consent, is a bad idea especially because these adult mentors are to be recruited online and are apparently not required to have any special training or skills other than a transgender identity.” 
This is not the only NIH-funded project Edwards is working on. She also received a $771,707 grant in 2023 to study “sexual minority men” and why their peers sexually assault them. Edwards believes one reason for this assault could be “internalized homonegativity.” Therefore, her <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10670426" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grant summary</a> pledges not to focus on just white men:
“To ensure racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in our sample for the purpose of addressing intersectionality we will oversample Black and/or Latinx SM [sexual minority] men as well as trans and transmasculine men.”
