Yet another “antiracism” center has fallen, just a few years after receiving millions in start-up funds.
The “Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity” will close up shop by next Friday, May 30, according to an announcement by the University of Minnesota.
It follows concerns about plagiarism by its director and criticism of her management ability. However, supporters argue Rachel Hardeman and the center needed more resources from the university.
Except for plagiarism concerns, the criticism mirrored heavily the criticism lodged against Ibram Kendi at Boston University. His antiracism center is shutting down this June and he will be setting up a new endeavor at Howard University.
