Florida State professor caught faking racism data

If he'd been white he would have been made Provost... Or never been promoted to professor for equity reasons...

Just pick one line to stand in.

The most racist people in this country aren't white. Just saying.

You left out one of the more crucial aspects of how he was caught - during his peer review. Now he's discredited and his unethical work has been retracted. This is a big win IMO.

Possibly the biggest problem in the United States.

Once again, the demand for racism is exponentially higher than the actual supply. Thus, you get shite like this.

Makes one wonder about the accuracy of a lot of these so called academic studies.

Actually, this should make you feel much better about peer reviewed journals that can withstand scrutiny. Obviously when someone started reading and reviewing the work, it did not hold up. That is how the system works. This is why we do blind, peer review of articles. Normal articles have two to three reviewers and it takes months to get an article published.

In my experience, there is always some bad actors or people that make mistakes, but the vast majority of academic writers just want to conduct good research and have their works published.

This is not exactly how it works but I see your point. This concept is only true in small percentage of universities, like R1s. Many R2s and below, there is very little need to publish because they are teaching institutions. Florida State would have want a number of publications, but in my experience quality is stressed over quantity. I know people with 40 year careers that have only been published 100 times over that entire span. That is really only 2 to 3 articles a year and for social science, I could easily due 5 or 6 a year.

Wow, gets paid $190,000 a year to make up lies and stir racial fires.

Must be nice being a Progressive in America in 2023. You need no real skills at all. Just a victim mentality, a proper "identity", and you can thrive just about anywhere with no accomplishments.

He was just starting a conversation

He’ll get a raise and an msnbc show pretty soon so he can spout his lies for all to see and hear

What's disturbing, other than the fact that "academics" are paid ridiculous sums of money" is that we can no longer trust research. How much grant money would a researcher receive for disputing the efficacy of a Covid shot? (refuse to call it a vaccine since I received the worthless shot and got Covid. My fault since I did not get 8 subsequent boosters)
