IBRAM KENDI'S CENTER FOR ANTIRACIST RESEARCH MISMANAGED ON A REALLY FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL....

‘Mismanaged on a really fundamental level’: Boston University investigating ‘antiracist’ research center--September 21, 2023 | Robert Schmad

Boston University has opened an inquiry into Ibram Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research following complaints of financial mismanagement and a “dysfunctional” work culture, according to the Boston Globe.

Boston University, which hosts the center, is investigating whether or not it followed funding guidelines and if it treated staff appropriately, according to the Globe. The inquiry is the center’s latest setback, following reports of layoffs and poor research output.

Phillipe Copeland, who worked at the center, said it “was just being mismanaged on a really fundamental level,” while another employee, Saida Gundy, said that she doesn’t “know where the money is,” according to the Globe. An email was sent to Boston University by a staffer in December 2021 alleging a “pattern of amassing grants without any commitment to producing the research obligated,” the Globe reported.

Kendi rose to prominence following the publication of his 2019 book “How To Be An Antiracist,” which argued that one is complicit in what he identifies as racism unless one is actively campaigning against it.
