Where else but higher education could this guy continue to fail upwards?
The College Fix reports:
One year later, Kendi begins hiring for latest antiracism centerMore than a year and a half after being announced, Ibram Kendi’s new antiracism center at Howard University is set to launch this fall.Howard hired Kendi in January 2025 to direct the Institute for Advanced Study, a think tank that will address “deep and persisting inequities in areas including, but not limited to, technology, the environment, healthcare, the economy, governance, education, and the criminal legal system.”Kendi officially began in August and joined the history department faculty, but progress at the institute and affiliated publication the Emancipator has been slow. In December, a spokesman for Kendi told The College Fix, “We look forward to launching The Emancipator and the Institute’s website at the beginning of next year.”Those plans apparently changed, as Kendi announced the institute started hiring in April, nearly two full semesters after he began.In a post on Facebook, Kendi wrote, “After months of careful envisioning, incubating, and planning, we are beginning to build our team at the Howard University Institute for Advanced Study.” He said the “formal launch of our Institute” is “set for the fall” and listed multiple positions at the Institute and the Emancipator.As of May 18, the institute was hiring for an administrative assistant, a breaking news correspondent, an investigative correspondent, and a video editor.However, the institute is not yet listed on Howard’s “Centers & Institutes” or “Research Centers & Institutes” pages. It is listed at the top of the “Centers & Programs” fundraising page and Kendi’s personal website takes visitors to a donation link when they click on the “Howard Institute” button.A spokesman for Kendi said, “We won’t be commenting,” in response to an email from The College Fix sent on May 11. The Fix inquired about the planned staff size for the institute, the planned launch date for the Emancipator, and whether the institute had established a governing board, bylaws, or a tentative mission statement.
