He should be lucky he’s not in jail, for fueling black entitlement and damaging r@ce relations.

He is lucky to be at BU. He's a pop academic. A low tier PhD, a fuzzy discipline, and a dearth of publications at rigorous peer-reviewed journals and/or top UP books. But he's, like, saying the right things for the zeitgeist of the day.

He is an anti-intellectual racyst spouting off nonsense--he is lucky to be at ANY school. That he is at ANY school tells us how low American higher education has sunk.

1) BU designed a whole center around him. That's some serious pull that most academics would jump at the chance to be part of at a good school.

2) Marine is spot on.

I guess he's making his way up the alphabet: AU, BU. Next CU here he comes!

What's funny about that is that he actually took it with him, though AU - which created the center to lure him - still has theirs under interim management.

That's what he's done. He started at SUNY Oneonta, then SUNY Albany, then Florida, then American, now BU.

He seems to move every 3-4 years. NYU in 2023 and Princeton 2027!

^why are people jealous? He has a number of books. Isn't that a goal, or did you want all of them to be with top tier presses?

Come on, there are many non-serious minority academics at BU, including in the polisci dept. Nothing special about Kendi.

Sean Hannity has a number of bestsellers too. Should a major university employ him too?
