This is a very interesting discussion we seem to be having. The reason the discussion does not presume that this man is competent is not that we don't trust the board to have made a good choice. Given the selection of Sean O'Keefe, King Alexander, and that dentist who used to treat Edwin Edwards, such lack of trust would be reasonable. Instead, the discussion seems to be based on the assumption that Bill Tate is incompetent, unqualified, has no standards, will pull the university down - all because he is black. He is a real intellectual - he went back to earn a master's degree in epidemiology after he was a tenured professor - and a seasoned administrator at universities far above LSU in the pecking order. And as for the suspicion about his critical race theory article . . . the article has been cited almost 7,000 times. The reasoning stands up to scrutiny by peers. For those who say that the board was forced into this situation, my answer is a question: Except for the student member, is there anyone on the board who is without the intestinal fortitude to say no when they think it's necessary? I doubt it. Instead of criticizing Bill Tate out of ignorance, maybe we should be congratulating the board for not hiring someone who didn't have enough strength to stand up to 45's attempts to undermine science or someone who lied on his resume and was silly enough to think he wouldn't get caught and later stupid enough to say it doesn't matter.

Bill thinks race is not biology but is a social construct of the white man to enslave minorities.

But go off king (or queen).

Why you hiding behind an alter?

And this is why you should be ignored as a race baiter.

The issue people have with him IS NOT his race, it's the fact that all he seems to SEE is race, based on his resume. This same resume, were it the resume of a white man or own would be met with the same level of disdain. His entire career looks like one that is based on dividing rather than today's buzzword, "uniting." And all at a time in our country when it's the lest helpful.

Next time, try harder. As usual, the only ones focused on race are the left in 2021.

Has nothing to do with it.

Seriously this statement brands you as intellectually dishonest at worse...colossally foolish at best.

No, that's your assumption. This thread is chock full of the exact reason why everyone is against this pick.

It's not just one article.

Yes, peers who already agree with Critical Theory. Getting people who already agree with your philosophy to agree with you again is no grand feat.

The reason people here are against Tate is his proven track record of loyalty to the re-packaged Marxist philosophy of Critical Theory with its swapping of capital for identity (race, gender, etc) as the delineating factor between the proletariat and bourgeoisie. Just like Critical Theory is nothing but repackaged Marxism, Tate is just repackaged F. King. Failure under a new and different name is still failure.

that’s cute you’re so misinformed that you think he wrote or was involved in only one article on the subject
