Peak affirmative action? Or just a harbinger of where academia is headed?
Hakeem Jefferson getting hired at Stanford
-
Hiring Hakeem and Soledad, both of whom have yet to publish anything on their own steam, was a huge waste of resources by Stanford done in the name of affirmative action. Sadly other places have followed and will follow suit.
Obviously neither will get tenure, but the wasted money and opportunities to hire at least half decent scholars will affect Stanford's reputation and credibility as an academic institution.
