ANALYSIS: Kendi’s center has significantly scaled back following massing spending with little results. He will now create something similar at Howard University

Professor Ibram Kendi and Boston University will shut down the Center for Antiracist Research on June 30 as the “antiracism” proponent moves to Howard University.

Kendi will start a similar center at the Washington, D.C. historically black university, focused on “advancing research of importance to the global African Diaspora, including inquiry into race, technology, racism, climate change, and disparities.”

The “Institute for Advanced Study” will be “[b]uilt on the highest standards of intellectual inquiry,” according to a news release from Howard.

However, Kendi’s Boston U. center failed to deliver on many promises. The university and center ignored at least twenty requests for comment from The College Fix about productivity during that time. A 2024 analysis from The Fix found the center had been largely quiet in the past year. The scaled back version, following overspending by Kendi, produced little. The university investigated the center and cleared Kendi of any wrongdoing.

The center started off with strong fundraising, including $10 million from former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. It also had the benefit of being started in summer 2020, as Black Lives Matter grew in prominence and corporations and governments focused on “antiracism” and “diversity, equity, and inclusion” principles. Kendi himself did quite well during that time, hauling in $35,000 for 60-minute speeches. A 2021 analysis estimated Kendi had made around $300,000 from speaking gigs, an amount that has likely eclipsed half a million dollars by now.

Following layoffs of about half the staff, which disproportionately harmed racial minorities and thus violated the principles of “antiracism,” Kendi moved to focusing on fellowships.

But The Fix spoke to one “research affiliate” who did not even know she had been accepted for a position until being contacted for comment on what the role entailed.

Boston U. heralded some of Kendi’s work, including the “COVID Racial Data Tracker.” But Kendi and his team did little on that project – rather a team of volunteers from The Atlantic did the work and the publication shut down new data collection in March 2021.

His center existed at Boston U. for five years, after he left a similar project at American University. For the last two years, representing 40 percent of his time there, the center did practically nothing, while Kendi wrote zero academic papers at least during the first three years he was there.

As The Fix reported in Sep. 2024:

 The latest post on the Antiracist Tech Initiative blog was from August 2023, as was the most recent update from the Racial Data Lab. On a page titled “What We’re Working On,” nothing is listed from this year. No policy reports or convenings have been published since 2022, and no amicus briefs have been submitted by the center since 2023. The Model Legislation Project also has not been updated this year. The Antiracist Legal Education Project advertises an event from September 2023 as “upcoming,” while the annual Antiracist Book Festival was not held in 2023 or 2024. A Vertex Symposium, which is also described as an annual event, has not occurred since 2022.

Kendi was quick to accuse his critics of racism when questions were raised about his leadership, even though some of them were racial minorities, such as scholar Saida Grundy.

“I have been disappointed in journalists who report criticisms of a Black leader without asking for evidence to substantiate those allegations,” he told The Daily Free Press. “Racist ideas about a corrupt Black leader running a dysfunctional or toxic organization are so ingrained that reporters don’t feel the need for evidence.”

Of course he did. He has no other cards to play because he's a full-blown fraud.

"If you hold me responsible for all the things I did, you're a racist." This is how liars and ideologues like him deflect.

But it would be racist not to hold him accountable, as we do other leaders and managers. There's nothing more racist than saying, well, since you're black we should hold you to a lower standard because we just can't expect that much from you.

What I will say is that Howard University deserves everything it's going to get.

Faunlet, faux innocence, weird.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, is the definition of faunlet. Hell, she is faunlet.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, has weird interests. But she's not an "oh" weird, she's more of an interesting weird. She has an interesting personality. It's actually kind of endearing.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, has dead eyes.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, zones out alot. You'll find yourself turning to look at her and half of the time she's staring into space.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, has lana del reys 'ultraviolence' album on repeat.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, likes true crime. She tries to get an insight for herself on the crimes.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, aspires to be a therapist. Psychology has always been an interest of hers. She likes to read books about it on her spare time.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, likes obscure objects or decoration. Like how Anna Taylor Joy had human heart cakes at her wedding, that kind of obscure.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, would make amazing friends with skelly!reader.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, likes going to art museums. Sculptures, paintings, things like that.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, is the thought daughter. She lives in thought. Her head is loud.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, doesn't know how to express her emotions.

🐑 Lamb!Reader who, is completely different from peoples first perception of her. They expect her to be some innocent lamb who doesn't know anything, shes goes along with it though. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

When facing extreme distress caused by drug abuse, mental illness or other psychological factors, the brain might grow desensitized to both positive and negative stimuli as a primitive, last resort attempt to maintain functionality. This might make one appear apathetic, insensitive and generally blind to the problems of others – the narrator emphasizes that he feels his colleague’s pain, but due to own issues is unable to react appropriately. - Heaven Beside You, Alice In Chains song analysis
