Ibram Kendi Begins Hiring for Newest Antiracism Center at Howard U
“After months of careful envisioning, incubating, and planning, we are beginning to build our team at the Howard University Institute for Advanced Study.”
Where else but higher education could this guy continue to fail upwards?

One year later, Kendi begins hiring for latest antiracism center
More 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.

If you have enough money or a department of propaganda you have enough to pay tax like other corporations, and like other corporations not to receive American tax dollars either.
Education isn’t in general a vote getter but we really need to start taking it seriously, and because the only leverage we have over these scumbags is money we need to use it.
This is good! Kendi’s antiracism center will be going after the teachers’ unions for perpetuating the failed urban public schools which are destroying black children’s futures!
Let’s hope you hire lots of nasty trans chicks who alienate everybody they know within three weeks, plus carloads of homeless drug addicts. Remember, Ibram — diversity, diversity, diversity!
Hired a year and a half ago…just starts building his center.
He might be one of the laziest, propped-up, fail-upward pseudointellectuals out there in this sphere of loud-mouth, self-promoting, empty suits.
Isolate the disease and then have it attract the infected. We can keep them contained to Howard (which is fatally infected already) and perhaps draw some infection out of other universities. Sounds like a win.
I hope he is as successful in this as he was in his last attempt. You do have to hand it to him, though. He sure knows how to grift with the best of them.
