<a href="https://www.depts.ttu.edu/education/our-people/Faculty/jairo_funez.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jairo Fúnez-Flores</a> is an Assistant Professor of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education at Texas Tech University (TTU). According to Fúnez-Flores’ faculty profile, “[H]is research is situated at the intersections of sociocultural studies in education, curriculum studies, decolonial theory, and qualitative methodology.”
Fúnez-Flores was placed on administrative leave after antisemitic social media posts appeared on his <a href="https://twitter.com/Jairo_I_Funez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>. Several posts were in response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and Israel’s response.
On March 4, 2024, Jairo Fúnez-Flores was featured in a <a href="https://www.fox34.com/2024/03/04/ttu-assistant-professor-suspended-hateful-antisemitic-unacceptable-social-media-posts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News 34 article</a> that said, “According to a statement from both Tech President Lawrence Schovanec and Chancellor Tedd Mitchell, [Fúnez-Flores] shared multiple posts on social media that were found to be ‘hateful, antisemitic, and unacceptable.’”
Fox News also said, “Fúnez-Flores is suspended with pay while an investigation begins by the Office of Equal Opportunity. If the OEO finds that ‘discriminatory harassment’ has happened, then Tech will take ‘prompt and effective action.’”
The source did not disclose which photos triggered the professor’s suspension. However, the Professor Watchlist team sourced the following posts from Fúnez-Flores’ Twitter account:

In a public statement, the TTU president and chancellor said Fúnez-Flores’ tweets “are antithetical to [TTU’s] values.” Although the university takes First Amendment rights “seriously,” the institution is “committed to providing a safe learning and working environment that is free from … antisemitic harassment.” Pending the outcome of the OEO investigation, TTU said it would “take prompt and effective action.”

According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20380" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Professor Duffy, along with other staff, attempted to ruin an event featuring Kayleigh McEnany by encouraging people to reserve tickets and not attend. Duffy made a Facebook post, stating: “Oh, goodie, a real live fascist is coming to town. Would be a real shame if we all registered for a free event ticket and then not be able to go!”

Campus Reform reports that more staff also appear to “have pledged to reserve a ticket” but do not plan on attending the event. Sabrina Davis, an Assistant Librarian at Texas Tech said: “Registering as many times as I can while drinking wine sounds like a perfect way to spend my Friday evening…”

<a href="https://www.depts.ttu.edu/biology/people/Faculty/Schwilk/">Dr. Dylan Schwilk</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Texas Tech. Citing rising COVID cases, Dr. Schwilk asked his class to segregate based on whether or not they wear masks in his classroom. 

The controversy occurred just prior to the first week of the spring semester classes in 2022. In his introductory email to the class—provided to TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist by an anonymous source—Dr. Schwilk announces new COVID restrictions that will be implemented the following day; students without masks will be asked to sit on opposite sides of the room from those who wear them. 

“I expect students will wear masks to protect others and themselves. Those students who refuse to wear masks will be asked to sit on the right hand side of the lecture hall (as you face the podium and screens) so that there is more separation from those wearing masks.”  

<img class="size-full wp-image-2597 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screen-Shot-2022-11-17-at-2.49.36-PM.png" alt="" width="437" height="609" />

Speaking to the Professor Watchlist, then-Turning Point USA chapter Vice-President, Morgonn McMichael said this is the first time that she’s encountered any restrictions. She reports that most students do not wear masks and is puzzled at Dr. Schwilk’s response. She claimed there are no serious problems with COVID outbreaks at Texas Tech. 

McMichael provided the following statement to the Professor Watchlist:

“As a student at texas tech [SIC] and seeing there not be a mandate I was thrilled but now seeing this professor, in particular, take it upon himself to blatantly segregate his class is discriminatory to all students, there are students in his class who will comply fearing for their grade, help in the class or gaining resources to do well. I am sickened by this professor's actions in going against the university policy! Professors like this need to be held accountable!”

<a href="https://gephardtinstitute.wustl.edu/people/sarah-garwood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Sarah Garwood</a> is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. According to her university profile, Dr. Garwood “provides care for complex adolescent patients.” She also designed and serves as co-director of the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
The Transgender Center <a href="https://www.stlouischildrens.org/conditions-treatments/transgender-center#:~:text=The%20Washington%20University%20Transgender%20Center,that%20addresses%20your%20specific%20needs." target="_blank" rel="noopener">provides a range of services</a> including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and menstrual suppression. The center’s website states: “Gender affirming care isn’t meant to influence people in any particular direction. We don’t ‘treat’ anyone’s identity or tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do.”
The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11754435/Emails-doctors-St-Louis-transgender-clinic-telling-teachers-affirm-fifth-graders.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington University Transgender Center is being investigated</a> by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and the office of Senator Josh Hawley after a former employee <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authored an article “blowing the whistle”</a> on the “morally and medically appalling” actions happening at the center.
The whistleblower, who previously worked at the center for four years, <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener">detailed the center’s aggressive and early intervention</a> and its “lack of regard for the rights of parents.”
<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2023-02/2023-02-09-Senator-Hawley-Letter-to-WashU.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a letter</a> to the university chancellor, hospital president, and the center’s co-directors, Senator Josh Hawley writes:
“That report presented substantial evidence that, like so many other pediatric gender clinics across the United States, this Missouri-based clinic appears to have been operating without transparency, oversight, and accountability &#8211; and causing devastating harm to children in the process.” 
Dr. Garwood has also been in the news after emails were discovered by <a href="https://defendinged.org/incidents/emails-reveal-school-district-sought-out-advice-from-st-louis-childrens-hospital-transgender-center-regarding-multiple-fifth-graders-transitioning-at-the-same-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parents Defending Education (PDE)</a> that show her encouraging the Parkway School District not to disclose students’ chest-binding practices to parents. When school officials asked for <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/childrens-hospital-advised-school-district-not-require-disclosure-students-chest-binding-parents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advice on how to handle chest-binding</a>, a staff member from the Transgender Center responded by quoting Dr. Garwood, saying:
“I would actually decline any requirements for disclosure by students or from school to parents.” 
Similarly, when asked for advice on how to handle fifth graders who are suffering from gender dysphoria, Dr. Garwood responded:
“The best we can do is affirm, validate and allow for the exploration, if in a few weeks or months, a student wants to go by their legal name and pronouns that match their sex assigned at birth, no harm was really done in affirming them before.” 
As of publication, Dr. Garwood is still employed by the university.

<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/washington-u-lecturer-warns-medical-students-not-debate-systemic-oppression-shut-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reports that Reedy-Rogier was caught on camera warning students that if they try to debate her on critical race theory and “systemic oppression,” she “will shut that s— down real fast.” During a lecture, she said: 
“I have a really hard time being neutral around issues of systemic oppression. So oftentimes you will know how I feel. This does not mean that I am opposed to hearing other perspectives, I would like to be very clear about that: I am always willing to engage in dialogue with folks that may disagree with me. Always.” 
She continues: 
“And I will not think less of you, nor will I try to fight you or debate you. And in fact, if you try to fight me or debate me, I will shut that s— down real fast.” 
Reedy-Rogier also has argued the field of medicine “<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11551901/Washington-Uni-St-Louis-lecturer-says-race-implications-practice-medicine.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has a really bad racism issue</a>,” stating: 
“We are very firm in race being a social construct, and that that has implications for how we practice medicine. That has implications for how we understand research, and that has implications for how we understand health disparity. And so when we are asking you all to engage in this, we’re really asking you to think about your own identities, and what that means to be anti-racist, which is an active stance in medicine that we know has a really bad racism issue.” 
Reedy-Rogier’s lecture is part of the <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/lecturer-cautions-students-not-to-challenge-her-on-systemic-oppression/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">medical school’s “Health Equity &amp; Justice” lessons</a> within the “Gateway Curriculum” that was rolled out in 2020. In the wake of the riots and protests surrounding the death of George Floyd, the medical school vowed to “require diversity and bias training for all searches and admissions processes including student, resident, fellow, faculty, and staff positions in education.”

<a href="https://artsci.wustl.edu/faculty-staff/bret-gustafson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bret Gustafson</a> is a Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis. Gustafson describes himself as a “political anthropologist with an interest in climate politics, fossil fuels, and the energy transition.”

In November 2023, Gustafson came under fire for <a href="https://www.kmov.com/2023/11/28/washington-university-professor-under-fire-anti-israel-bias-after-social-media-post/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antisemitic social media comments</a>. After protesters in Los Angeles threw smoke devices and vandalized the home of the president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Gustafson <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1729509403676598707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allegedly posted</a> the following:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3343" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screen-Shot-2023-11-28-at-12.56.16-PM-1024x1015.png" alt="" width="640" height="634" />
The <a href="https://twitter.com/bretgustafson?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">user’s account</a> has since been made private, but his Twitter biography includes a link to his faculty page at Washington University in St. Louis. The university provided the following statement to First Alert 4:
“Bret Gustafson is currently employed by Washington University. The opinions he has expressed as an individual do not represent the university’s position. We do not condone intimidation and we will not tolerate discrimination, harassment or threatening behavior.” 
In 2021, after a student destroyed a flag display that was part of a 9/11: Never Forget Project, Gustafson <a href="https://yaf.org/news/nearly-50-washu-professors-sign-statement-defending-9-11-vandal-american-flag-is-symbol-of-american-imperialism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a statement</a> in support of the vandal, calling the crime a “protest.” <a href="https://www.studlife.com/forum/2021/09/14/community-statement-against-islamophobia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The letter</a> further said the American flag is “the symbol of American imperialism and violence in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and beyond.”

Gustafson is also a proponent of fossil fuel divestment. In March 2023, he participated in a <a href="https://www.studlife.com/uncategorized/2023/03/01/green-action-rally-demands-university-divestment-from-fossil-fuels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Action rally</a> that called on the university to divest from fossil fuels and “recognize the impacts of environmental racism.” He said the university “directly contributes to violence against all of us” because “everybody breathes the toxic impacts of burning coal to produce electricity.” He stated:
“It’s really quite embarrassing to be a faculty member at WashU. It should be [embarrassing] for students and alumni to be associated with a University that’s really far behind a lot of things.” 
He added:
“When Chancellor Martin says they can’t do anything because they’re just trying to protect the money for the University, there are plenty of other places you can invest your money in this daily sick capitalist system that we live in.”

“Since its inception in black feminist scholarship in the late 1980s, intersectionality has been influential across, and been explored beyond, disciplinary boundaries … Intersectionality is not used in this book to look specifically at the oppressions that come from gender and race alone … Instead, we are following important work that has utilised intersectionality and made important contributions to exploring the relationship between class and sexuality and to the exploration of ageing sexualities.”

In the paper, he uses the term “religious tolerance promotion” or RTP to indicate how friendly authoritarian regimes are toward those who openly practice their beliefs in society. Understandably, Warren did not include Palestine or Gaza in the piece. This could be due to the Gazan government <a href="https://besacenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1449-A-Short-History-of-Palestinian-Rejectionism-Cohen-final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejecting statehood multiple times</a> and the fact that its terrorist branch, Hamas, does not tolerate any religion outside of its <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Islamic Resistance Movement</a>.  

<a href="https://x.com/davidhwarren/with_replies?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warren’s Twitter account</a> confirms his antisemitic views. On August 29, 2024, he posted about pro-Palestinian protests that occurred on Washington University’s campus. 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3840" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-03-at-5.54.48 PM.png" alt="" width="544" height="428" />

The tweet links to a <a href="https://www.studlife.com/forum/2024/08/28/opinion-submission-a-letter-from-suspended-faculty-against-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university newspaper</a> article titled “Opinion Submission: A letter from suspended faculty against genocide.” Since Warren is only a non-tenured lecturer, his signature does not appear on the letter. The Professor Watchlist couldn’t confirm if Warren was off work in April when his superior colleagues <a href="https://www.studlife.com/news/2024/04/30/the-aftermath-of-april-27-protesters-denounce-police-response-administration-condemns-encampment-and-students-and-faculty-suspended" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined one</a> (of many) anti-Jewish protests that resulted in the arrest of four faculty members. 

The statement says, in part:
“As faculty members who were suspended and banned from campus this spring for standing with students against the genocide of Gaza, we know that our school remains gripped by a moral crisis stemming from its complicity in the occupation of Palestine. In April [2024], we experienced firsthand how the University prioritizes its ties to weapons contractors like Boeing over its commitment to the safety and well-being of its community members.”

Her university profile says she’s “advanced educational work at Williams from the <a href="https://mellon.org/programs/higher-learning/just-futures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Just Futures Initiative</a>…to the college’s decision to join the new Liberal Arts Colleges Racial Equity Leadership Alliance.

In October 2022, Mandel was <a href="https://www.berkshireeagle.com/news/northern_berkshires/williams-college-monument-to-union-soldiers-defaced-by-vandals/article_438bead6-4982-11ed-8d45-57d031f87928.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in The Berkshire Eagle</a> after a monument outside of Griffin Hall was vandalized. The Eagle said, “Someone defaced a memorial to Union soldiers who served in the Civil War by painting a Confederate flag and the word ‘rebel,’ sparking a strong reaction from [Mandel].”
According to The Eagle, Mandel said,
“‘The Confederate flag and the world ‘rebel’ are commonly used as symbols by white supremacists and other extremist factions…The appearance of those marks is more evidence that we live in a world where people hold racist and otherwise hateful ideas. When someone defaces our campus — our own home — with symbols of those ideologies, it becomes especially personal.’”
Mandel called for an investigation of the incident and encouraged students who are “interested in helping the anti-racism efforts to visit the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Racial Justice <a href="https://diversity.williams.edu/racial-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">webpage</a>.” The investigation is still underway.

In response to reports of racially-motivated disturbances on campus, The Fix also said, “There have been no suspects publicly identified in the three alleged racist incidents that occurred…at the private institution…The incidents include slurs scribbled in dust on cars.”

She continued,
“Effective immediately, [the] Vice President for Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion…and I will convene a new [task force]. [We] are currently developing the charge, but at a high level the group will propose strategies for confronting and addressing race-based bias.”

Princeton Bioethics Professor Peter Singer made headlines after sharing his views on sex acts with animals. On November 8, 2023, Singer shared what he called a “thought-provoking article” titled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mOOHWhgfENSAz-Bl7kQb9fPHHzRqh9Dm/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible</a>.” Singer said that “[the article] challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of <a href="https://twitter.com/JConIdeas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JConIdeas</a>.
This piece challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual… <a href="https://t.co/32fIaJEJ1J">pic.twitter.com/32fIaJEJ1J</a>

— Peter Singer (@PeterSinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSinger/status/1722440246972018857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPeterSingerOfficialPage%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02Au3SMtXhVsbkrHSkPJmVa4BhXei9y3Tpc822yVAKLLisxtVJ1bcpUhZEc8rHQp7Jl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

One commenter said Singer was “adopting the language of predator abusers, the same words used to dismiss and denigrate [rape] survivors.”

In a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/peter-singer-compares-abortion-to-turning-off-a-computer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review article</a> titled, “Peter Singer Compares Abortion to Turning Off a Computer,” the author writes, “To understand Singer’s perspective: He doesn’t believe that human life has moral value simply because he or she is human. Rather, value has to be earned, primarily be being self-aware or able to value life [sic]. He argues that self-aware entities are ‘persons’ —including some animals.”

National Review continued, “[Singer] also believes that non-self-aware beings—including human infants, unborn babies, and people who have serious dementia, persistent unconsciousness or minimal consciousness—are not persons. Non-persons, in his view, have lower moral value than persons and can be killed or used instrumentally for the benefit of persons…”

Peter Singer is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. As a philosopher and self-identified “<a href="https://longtermrisk.org/hedonistic-vs-preference-utilitarianism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hedonistic utilitarian</a>,” Dr. Singer holds a number of controversial views on human and animal ethics. These include stances on abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide.

More than an advocate for abortion, Dr. Singer claims there is nothing inherently immoral about killing a child.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB5IZXGmk08&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a debate at Harvard University</a>, Dr. Singer recognized that fetuses in the womb are living human beings. However, he added people—including those not yet born—have varying degrees of value based on whether or not they feel pain.

He further claimed that only people who are fully conscious or feel pain have a right to their own lives. Abortion, he argued, cannot be considered immoral. Dr. Singer acknowledges that his stance presents a “challenging” problem regarding recently-born children.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DB5IZXGmk08" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Dr. Singer has also justified infanticide for babies who are disabled or have serious health conditions. In the 1979 edition of Practical Ethics, he wrote: “<a href="https://archive.org/details/practicalethics0000sing/page/n3/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all</a>.”

Many have accused <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Singer of being sympathetic to eugenics</a> due to his apparent empathy towards parents who <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select particular genes in human fetuses for more desirable children</a>.

During a 2015 radio interview, Dr. Singer argued that it was “reasonable” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ethics-professor-kill-severely-disabled-infants-under-obamacare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to euthanize disabled infants to prevent higher premiums under Obamacare</a>. In a Q&amp;A hosted on his personal website, Dr. Singer <a href="https://petersinger.info/faq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims that newborns are not persons as they have “no sense of the future</a>.”

“[Killing] a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.”

Dr. Singer added that although killing an infant is a “terrible thing to do,” parents should have the freedom to end the life of their newborn. He added that the presiding doctor would then take steps to “swiftly and humanely” end the child’s life.

According to his biography, Dr. Singer <a href="https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/peter-singer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been teaching at Princeton since 1999</a>. He authored other books on utilitarianism, veganism, and animal liberation.

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

In an interview with the progressive news outlet, DemocracyNow, in June of 2020, Dr. Taylor praises the BLM movement’s fight against systemic racism, stating that our nation is witnessing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOG-W_X9m8&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an “uprising” against “racial terrorism” being inflicted upon black Americans by police officers</a>.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd.

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships.

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

Best was featured in a 2020 Princeton press release titled <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/09/30/wallace-best-leads-program-gender-and-sexuality-studies-dynamic-new-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallace Best leads the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies into a dynamic new era</a>. In the article, Best responds to questions regarding his experience with feminine studies. When asked, “What is the value of studying gender and sexuality studies in the current era in America?,” Best said:
“It’s interdisciplinary in that it’s connected to more historically formal disciplines like sociology, political science and religion, but draws each in robust and engaging ways. I think about what’s happening with the Black Lives Matter movement, for example. Some of that activist work is born from the scholarship within the intellectual orbit — scholars who have centered issues of gender and sexuality in its inextricable connection to race, class, location and ethnicity.” 
He continued,
“So, when I see those protests, I feel quite proud that some of what the leaders say is born from the discourses of feminism, Black feminism, queer studies, and from gender and sexuality studies. So, I would say this is one of the most exciting times to be involved in this field.”
Best also holds a Ph.D. in Religion. His areas of research and teaching include African American religious history, religion and literature, Pentecostalism, and Womanist theology. One course Best teaches, <a href="https://religion.princeton.edu/courses/spring-2022/black-women-and-spiritual-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Women and Spiritual Narrative</a>,” focuses on “the hypothesis that religious metaphor and symbolism have figured prominently in Black women’s writing across literary genres.” He’s currently working on a book entitled “The Spiritual Capital of Black America: Twentieth Century Harlem’s World of Religion and Churches.”

Anne McClintock is Princeton University’s <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies</a>. She’s also an Affiliated Faculty for the Princeton Environmental Institute and Department of English and serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies.

McClintock’s faculty profile says her “interdisciplinary and transitional work — both scholarly and creative — explores the intersections between race, gender and sexualities; imperialism and globalization.” Her interests also include sexual and gender violence, climate chaos, and animal studies.

McClintock is the author of “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Imperial_Leather/wRwiAQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest</a>.” The publisher notes that the book “chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling.” In one chapter called The White Family of Man, she says,
“King Solomon’s Mines was [sic] intimately concerned with events in South Africa following the discovery of diamonds and then gold: specifically, the reordering of women’s sexuality and work in the African homestead and the diversion of black male labor into the mines.”
She continues, 
“The Story illuminates not only relations between the imperial metropolis and the colonies but also the refashioning of gender relations in South Africa, as a nascent capitalism penetrated the region and disrupted already contested power relations with the homesteads.”
In 2019, McClintock was among several Princeton faculty members who participated in a campus strike. <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-students-faculty-join-community-climate-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Alumni Weekly</a> listed her as an event speaker in a protest to “demand climate justice.” That same year, she was also featured in The Nation’s article titled “<a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/princeton-students-are-sitting-in-for-title-ix-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Students are Sitting in for Title IX Reform</a>.” This protest was organized after “believe all women” posters appeared in campus bathrooms and “Title IX protects rapists” was graffitied on a walking path.

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light.

Gayle Salamon is a <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/gayle-salamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> at Princeton University. Salamon’s faculty profile says her research interests include phenomenology, feminist philosophy, queer and transgender theory, contemporary Continental philosophy, and disability studies.

In Salamon’s Introductory to Gender and Sexual Studies course, she tackles questions such as: “What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither?” “How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations?”

Her published works include two manuscripts, <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Assuming_a_Body/s-idAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=assuming+a+body&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality,”</a>  and<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Life_and_Death_of_Latisha_King/bb84DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=the+life+and+death+of+latisha+king&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia."</a> She also published a peer-reviewed article titled <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Meontology-of-Masculinity%3A-Notes-on-Castration-Salamon/3784451626c47802e5acd00654de96bf5a7f8222#paper-header" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Meontology of Masculinity: Notes on Castration Elation</a>. (Meontology is the philosophical study of non-being.)

In the Meontology of Masculinity abstract, Salamon cites LGBT “scholars” and says, “Gender is a matter of behavior, but also a result of ‘the more subtle channels of posture, carriage, gaze, and manner of leaning into some (more masculine) things away from other (more feminine) things.’ [Gender scholars] call for a phenomenology of lived gender experiences, to do justice to the variety of ways in which gender can be experienced and also perceived.”

In a <a href="https://thecriticallede.com/066-interview-with-gayle-salamon-author-of-assuming-a-body/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2012 podcast interview with The Critical Lede,</a> Salamon discussed her book “Assuming a Body.” In thinking about the idea of “a man trapped in a woman’s body, and a woman trapped in a man’s body,” she said, “I keep looking for a book that was going to engage both of those things at the same time…My hope was to try to bring together some of the ideas about how we come to inhabit our bodies [and] what is the relationship between the body that everybody else in the world sees and the body that I feel myself to have.”

<a href="https://politics.princeton.edu/people/richard-falk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Falk</a> is a Professor of International Law and Practice at Princeton University and a Research Associate at the Orfalea Center of Global Studies at the University of California - Santa Barbara. 

Dr. Falk has labeled Israel a racist, apartheid state that’s committing an ongoing genocide. 

The term “apartheid” refers to the legal system of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid/Opposition-to-apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racial discrimination and separation in South Africa</a> from the 1950s to 1994. He has further alleged the true identity of the 9/11 hijackers has been covered up and blamed Israel for terrorist attacks in America. 

In an article titled, “<a href="http://www.oldsite.transnational.org/Area_MiddleEast/2007/Falk_PalestineGenocide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slouching toward a Palestinian Holocaust</a>,” Falk compares Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust. He claims that Israel’s actions are “morally far worse” than the genocides committed in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

Further in the article, Falk defends the terrorist organization Hamas as the duly elected representative of the Palestinian people. He claims the group has renounced violence and is willing to make peace with Israel. 

During a separate interview with DemocracyNow!, Falk praised the group for its “spirit of resistance” and again claimed that Hamas seeks “peaceful, co-existence with Israel.”

An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” - Hamas Charter
The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 

Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 

The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 

He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 

Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 

Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

Nunez’s university <a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2022/03/princeton-arts-fellows-for-2022-2024-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fellowship announcement says</a>, “His performances have been presented at The Brooklyn Museum for The Immigrant Artist Biennale…” and “his work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times…” 

His personal biography webpage states,

“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”

“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”

Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other "disabled" artists.

The performance showcased the artistic abilities of the disabled, mentally ill, and trans-identifying students. According to the College Fix, Nunez said, “‘This is the first time that we get to experience in a more pragmatic, practical way what access, accessibility, and access artistry means.’”

Gabrie’l Atchison is the instructor for AAS 220/GSS 229: Body Politics: Black Queer Visibility and Representation at Princeton University. The <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1234&amp;courseid=016604" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class description</a> states that the curriculum will “examine Black LGBTQ+ representation across various media including documentaries, television, social media, and literature.”

Atchison’s profile — which can only be found on the class description page — also shows her research “includes gender-based environmental violence, environmental racism/justice, ecofeminism, feminist/queer theology…Black church history…and African American women’s literary criticism.” 

Atchison contributes to a blog called <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Devotional</a>. On <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/dr-gabriel-atchison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atchison’s About page</a> she describes herself as a “Black Feminist theologian” and the Congregational Development Director at Trinity Episcopal Church who researches “the role of the church in the racial identity development of Black Episcopalians.”

In her book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6GQR4FJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0?asin=B0B6GQR4FJ&amp;revisionId=ca68030b&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Are You the Unchurched?: How to Develop an Authentic Relationship with God inside or outside the Church</a>,” Atchison remarked on survey results from a Christian research institute. She said,

“Overwhelmingly, young adults who were studied named hostility toward [LGBTQ+] people as the reason they do not attend church…Based on my understanding of the research, the unchurched are Christians who are:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">College-educated</li>
</ul>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Progressive</li>

</ul>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Independently minded…”</li>
</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

<a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/kevin-m-kruse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Kruse</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University. His faculty biography says Kruse “studies the political social, and urban/suburban history of 20th-century America.” He’s also “focused on conflicts over race, rights, and religion…[with] particular interests in segregation and the civil rights movement.”

Kruse has published several manuscripts including a 2005 book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Flight-Atlanta-Conservatism-Politics/dp/0691133867?asin=0691133867&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism.</a>” Kruse introduces the novel by stating,

“This book explores the causes and course of white flight, with Atlanta serving as its vantage point…While many have assumed that white flight was little more than a literal movement of the white population, this book argues that it represented a much more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved.”

He continued,

“Because of their confrontation with the civil rights movement, white southern conservatives were forced to abandon their traditional, populist, and often starkly racist demagoguery and instead craft a new conservatism predicated on a language of rights, freedom, and individualism.”

In June 2022, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> featured Kruse in an article titled “Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye to Plagiarism From Woke Professor.” According to the Beacon, “On December 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton’s dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that [Kruse] plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book ‘One Nation Under God.’”

Magness cited passages of Kruse’s book as allegedly originating from a New York Times Article that was published in the mid-1960s. The Beacon said, “The university never replied to Magness’s email…and has not announced an investigation of Kruse.”

<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2022/08/kevin-kruse-plagiarism-allegations-academic-princeton-investigation-phillip-magness-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the Daily Princetonian</a>, “Kruse expressed ‘surprise’ at the allegations and attributed the lack of citations in one instance to an inadvertent oversight.” Kruse also allegedly plagiarized a professor in his 2000 Cornell University doctoral thesis. The Princetonian quoted an email response from Kruse stating,

“‘While I indicated my intellectual debts to [author] Prof. Baylor else in the text, endnotes and bibliography of the dissertation, I was surprised to see that there was an instance in the introduction [where] I failed to do so properly.’”

<a href="https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/06/27/kevin-kruse-and-the-peak-political-plagiarism-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plagiarism Today said</a>, “Kruse is not your typical alleged plagiarist…Kruse has made a career for himself as an activist that corrects and criticizes right-wing talking points on history. He has over half a million followers on Twitter and a high-profile position at Princeton, both of which have given him clout.”

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

Wherry participated in a panel discussion called “<a href="https://youtu.be/DP7SK_-fXA8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Native Son: Black Gay Leadership Forum</a>” to discuss ideas on wealth creation, social justice, and trauma within communities. When asked about the aspiration of building assets and stronger economic futures among black and gay people, Wherry stated,

“One of the things we have to keep in mind when building assets is that they look different for our community in part because we have a positive effect on our social networks and building assets. People help us out, sometimes we get that ‘white glove treatment’ by virtue of folks who can tell us how to most effectively take advantage of an opportunity when it arises.”

He continued,

“At the same time, we have to be realistic…our social networks also can deplete some of those traditional forms of asset building…When we are providing financial assistance to our kinfolk — when you compare us to our white counterparts, who don’t have the same kinds of requests coming in at the same level of occupation, at the same level of academic achievement — we just have less available for traditional asset-building.”

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/satyel-larson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satyel Larson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s areas of instruction are “Anthropology,” “Law and society,” “The Maghreb” and “Women, gender and sexuality.” Her faculty profile says:
“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”

<a href="https://psych.princeton.edu/people/kristina-olson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristina Olson</a> is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. Her faculty profile says:
“I study how children think about social groups, like those based on race and gender. Much of my most recent work has focused on sex and gender-diverse children with ongoing longitudinal projects exploring gender development and well-being in transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex children.”
In 2019, Olson<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1909367116" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> co-authored a study</a> entitled “Similarity in transgender and cisgender children’s gender development.” In the study “Abstract,” Olson, et al. conclude, “Our findings suggest that early sex assignment and parental rearing based on that sex assignment do not always define how a child identifies or expresses gender later.”

The study goes on to state that “young transgender children are different from their cisgender peers in their unique gender socialization experience, having lived part of their childhoods treated as members of one gender (before transitioning) and part of their childhoods treated as members of another gender (after transitioning).”

Olson <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition?autologincheck=redirected">co-authored another study</a> on the effects of socially transitioning after five years. The study’s “methods” are based on data from the Trans Youth Project (TYP)—powered by Princeton University’s HUman[sic] Diversity Lab. The Lab reported data on 208 transgender girls and 109 transgender boys between ages 3 and 12 who had “made a ‘complete’ binary social transition.”

Notably, Olson is listed as the director of the HUman Diversity Lab <a href="https://hudl.princeton.edu/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the “People” page</a>. 

In the study “Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition,” Olson, et al. wrote:
“As part of the larger longitudinal study, parents and youth were regularly asked about whether they had begun using puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones…they were not asked about whether puberty had begun, though our available data suggests that…most participants were followed by an endocrinologist well before puberty began.”
In a discussion of the study’s findings, Olson, et al. concluded that “Five years after an initial binary social transition, 7% of youth had retransitioned at least once…Among those who had begun puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones, only 1 had transitioned to live as cisgender…” 

However, Olson et al. admit in the study that they “did not assess whether participants met criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth edition, diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children” and further stated that “many parents did not believe such diagnoses were either ethical or useful…”

<a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/eddie-s-glaude-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Glaude Jr.</a> is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. In April 2023, Glaude <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/04/african-american-studies-department-princeton-university-glaude-eddie-stepping-down-chair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he would step down from his position as chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton.

Glaude is the author of several race-focused publications, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Black-Still-Enslaves-American/dp/1522634940?asin=0804137439&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a book</a> entitled, “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.” In the introduction, Glaude wrote:
“This book details what I call the Great Black Depression, and shows how the current rhetoric of economic recovery does not include the majority of black communities in this country. It challenges the pervasive silence about the crisis in black communities and puts forward an idea of American democracy shorn of its racist baggage.”
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Religion-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-America/dp/0226298205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AHS2LRZ49TN3&amp;keywords=Exodus%21+Religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+Early+19th+century+black+america&amp;qid=1707509859&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=exodus+religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+early+19th+century+black+america%2Cstripbooks%2C121&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=0226298205&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In his novel</a> titled “Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation In Early 19th Century Black America,” Glaude compares the plight of African Americans to biblical accounts of Jews gaining freedom from slavery in Egypt. Glaude said his rendition explores “the ways the story became a source for a particular use of nation language among African Americans as well as a metaphorical framework for understanding the middle passage, enslavement, and quests for emancipation.”

The heated discussion, which took place over Twitter, included Glaude calling Rufo’s work “insidious” and labeling Rufo a racist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Glaude also tweeted his thoughts after SCOTUS overturned affirmative action in June 2023.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Imagine this: my mother and father couldn’t attend Princeton or Ole Miss (I group in Mississippi), because of long-standing discriminatory practices. The civil rights movement happens. Doors are opened. Colleges and universities are somewhat integrated 1/

<a href="https://anthropology.princeton.edu/people/faculty/agustin-fuentes">Agustín Fuentes</a> is a Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. According to his university profile, Fuentes’ “research focuses on the biosocial, delving into the entanglement of biological systems with the social and cultural lives of humans, our ancestors, and a few of the other animals with whom humanity shares close relations.” 

His profile further states the nature of his research:
“From chasing monkeys in jungles and cities, to exploring the lives of our evolutionary ancestors, to examining human health, behavior, and diversity across the globe, Professor Fuentes is interested in both the big questions and the small details of what makes humans and our close relations tick.”
In April 2024, Fuentes signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.

In May 2023, Fuentes penned an opinion piece for Scientific American titled “<a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heres-why-human-sex-is-not-binary/?amp;text=Here%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary</a>.” He began his article by stating: 
“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Lurie spoke at the walkout in opposition to the disciplinary actions brought against student protesters:
“We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately and expunged from students’ records.”
Lurie told the <a href="https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/23/aaup-drafts-resolution-of-censure-against-shafik-administration-following-nypd-sweep/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia Spectator</a> that the AAUP disapproved of Shafik’s response to the protesters and said:
“We want to be really clear that we are not calling for her resignation at this time. We want to work with her. We want her and her administration to turn back from the road that they’ve started down last week, and we’re really eager to partner with them in doing that.”
In a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wLVMV9z_HGanmpN-9b84Iket-d5VM9VT/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> issued by the AAUP, titled “Resolution of Censure,” the following criticism was stated of Shafik and her view of the pro-Palestine protests:
“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”
Lurie and the AAUP <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bnEhCa6mR7t_82QUf_qpGT7acudoOMIw/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintain</a> that Shafik’s termination is not what they desire in their latest press release:
“Unwarranted statements by members of Congress, including calls for President Shafik’s resignation, undermine the traditions of shared governance and academic freedom that have long ensured America’s educational greatness.”

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Callahan spoke at the walkout and compared the student protests to the Scopes Trial in 1924. During the Scopes Trial, an elementary school teacher was tried for teaching evolution at a school in Dayton, Tennessee. According to <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BWOG</a>, “Callahan called the historical event an ‘emblem of how wrong it is to treat teachers as pawns and scapegoats,’” and connected it to the response of Columbia University to the protestation of its pro-Palestine faculty and students. 

Callahan then addressed the crowd with certain demands:
 “We insist on science and factual evidence… on delineating the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty…on honest, open, and difficult discourse,” discourse she claimed were “pathways to a more humane world.” 
Callahan described the university’s response to the protests and encampment as “intemperate and regrettable.” She said her and her associates would “work tirelessly to undo that error.”

According to her university profile, Levy’s work “strives to decolonize [her] main areas of study: comparative literature and Jewish studies.”

In April 2024, Levy signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester. 

The statement begins: 
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.” </li>

All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.” </li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following: 
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.”

Dr. Heather Cox Richardson is a <a href="https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/history/people/faculty-directory/heather-cox-richardson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of History</a> at Boston College. Her area of interest is nineteenth-century American history, which she teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Dr. Richardson has <a href="https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/to-make-men-free-a-history-of-the-republican-party_heather-cox-richardson/8911738/#edition=59242139&amp;idiq=45881792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">written several books</a>, including To Make Men Free: a History of the Republican Party and How the South Won the Civil War.
When Dr. Richardson isn’t teaching or writing books on American history, she is making political comments to journalists. <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/11/biden-needs-an-enemy/620778/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an article</a> for The Atlantic by Molly Jong-Fast titled “Biden Needs an Enemy,” Dr. Richardson suggested that President Biden declare war on conservatives.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1925" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM.png" alt="" width="500" height="257" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM.png 882w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM-300x154.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.24.00-AM-768x395.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Jong-Fast further clarified that Dr. Richardson believes that Biden should wage war on Republicans in order to combat what Dr. Richardson considers to be ‘authoritarian overreach.’
In December of 2021, Dr. Richardson <a href="https://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/heather-richardson/fear-legitimacy-political-agenda-deny-democracy-igniting-culture-wars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned an article</a> for Milwaukee Independent titled “A Fear of Legitimacy: When the Only Political Agenda is to Deny Democracy by Igniting Culture Wars.” In the piece, Dr. Richardson accuses conservatives of focusing on culture wars rather than using their power to fight for positive changes.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1926" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM.png" alt="" width="500" height="186" srcset="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM.png 944w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM-300x112.png 300w, https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-29-at-9.27.04-AM-768x286.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />
Dr. Richardson claims that Democrats and liberals are not advocating for socialism or communism, but rather the government “regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, and promote infrastructure projects that are too big or unprofitable for private industry.”  She continues by alleging that conservatives “double down” on the idea that the election was stolen by the Socialist Left and are hypocritical in their claims.
Dr. Richardson often writes in her blog about current events and politics in her free time. On November 30, 2021, Dr. Richardson claimed the U.S. economy was “booming.” The blog post outlines how unemployment rates are the lowest they have been since 1969. Dr. Richardson makes these claims with little legitimate evidence to back them up &#8211; her sources are limited to a <a href="https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1465492526513725442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris tweet</a>, Business Insider articles, and posts from the New York Times.

<a href="https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/theology/people/faculty-directory/natana-delong-bas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Natana J. Delong-Bas</a> is an Associate Professor of Practice in the <a href="https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/theology.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Theology Department</a> at <a href="https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston College</a>. Much of her scholarship focuses on the Koran and women's rights under Islamic law. Dr. Delong-Bas is further known for her strident defenses of Islam as a religion of peace, even going so far as denying al-Qaeda's role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

A significant aspect of her research and her publications concentrate on Wahhabism, a conservative sect of Islam whose adherents are known for their strict interpretation of Koranic Law. In addition to claiming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLWWopyMzxQ&amp;ab_channel=PulitzerCenter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that Islam has no connection to religious violence and extremism</a>, she declares <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/10775/natana-delong-bas-american-professor-wahhabi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahhabism—in its true form—has no connection to violent, Islamist extremism</a> when it occurs.

<a href="https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/testimony/47.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahhabism</a> emerged as a puritanical sect of Islam in the 18th century. Adherents—who are referred to as “Salafists”—seek to purify any sect or branch of Islam that does not adopt the 7-century practices and teaching of the Prophet Mohammed, including the practice of waging jihad.

Many jihadist movements adhere to and base their ideology on Wahhabism. In addition to serving as the official state religion of Saudi Arabia, Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers were adherents to this extremist sect. Al-Qaeda, as well as its sister organizations like <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/21335" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas and ISIS, all base their ideology and practices on Wahhabism</a>.

Due to her strident defenses of Islam and Wahhabism, Dr. Delong-Bas is a frequent visitor and guest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where she adorns a full burka out of “respect” for Saudi culture.

In an interview with a Saudi newspaper, she denied that any extremist movements in the Middle East had any connection to Islam, but instead argued <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/american-professor-natana-delong-bas-%E2%80%98i-do-not-find-any-evidence-would-make-me-agree-osama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that support of Israel is the root cause of terrorism against the West</a>,

“The political conditions in the Islamic world, like the Palestinian issue, which has lasted 60 years, [the issue of] Iraq, and the American government's tying [the hands of] the U.N. [and preventing it] from adopting any resolution against Israel, have definitely added to the Muslim youth's state of frustration, which then pushes them to - as they understand it - help their brothers do away with the aggression against them, in the various Islamic countries”

When the interviewer asked directly whether or not Osama Bin Laden was involved in the terrorist attacks on 9/11, she explicitly denied his involvement, stating that there was “no proof” that he participated in the attack.

<a href="https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/ssw/faculty/faculty-directory/maggi-price.html">Dr. Maggi Price</a> is an Assistant Professor in the School of Social Work at <a href="https://www.bc.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston College</a>. As director of the “<a href="https://www.affirmlab.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Affirm Lab</a>,” she oversees a clinic that provides “affirmative care” to children and teenagers looking to transition genders.   

According to its main page, <a href="https://www.affirmlab.org/research.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the lab lists three “domains” of research,</a> which include: 

- Identifying the unique experiences of youth with 1+ stigmatized identities. 

- Determining how stigmatized youth’s unique experiences affect their mental health and well-being. 

- Identifying methods of improving care for stigmatized youth.

In partnership with the Boston Child Study Center, <a href="https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/schools/ssw/about/bcssw-news/2021/more_young_people_are_coming_out_as_transgender_this_psychologist_wants_to_teach_therapists_how_to_provide_gender_affirming_care.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Price will train 40 psychologists to provide affirmative care to minors suffering from gender dysphoria</a>. The program will further offer directions for counseling parents that wish to allow their children to transition.

The initiative is first being tested in Massachusetts and California. If successful, Dr. Price plans to roll out the program to the rest of the nation and vastly scale the number of psychologists trained. 

Dr. Price is further developing an online training program to support high school students suffering from gender dysphoria. The program is titled “IMPACTS”—Improving Methods of Providing Affirming Care to Transgender Students—and will work to train and equip high school teachers to cater to their trans students.

Published - October 31, 2022

<a href="https://www.bu.edu/ssw/profile/phillipe-copeland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phillipe Copeland</a> is a Clinical Associate Professor at Boston University’s School of Social Work. His specialties include “Theories of Justice, Racial Justice,” “Black Lives Matter” and “Abolition of Mass Incarceration.”

Copeland also serves as a faculty lead for education and training at the <a href="https://www.bu.edu/antiracism-center/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston University Center for Antiracist Research</a>. The Center’s mission is to “convene researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to figure out novel and practical ways to understand, explain and solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequality and injustice.”

Copeland <a href="https://youtu.be/CWnHNPFrtIA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on City Line</a> to provide commentary on why Americans should be talking more about racism in popular culture. Copeland said:

“...[W]e can really think of pop culture as another kind of classroom….And so what we see, what we hear, what we experience through pop culture…can shape our perceptions of ourselves, the world, and the problems that we need to solve—problems like racism.”

<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CWnHNPFrtIA" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

During the interview, Copeland shared “The Copeland Test”—a test he developed that allegedly detects antiracist themes in movies and TV shows. The assessment includes the following three categories:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Racism is portrayed as a systemic issue</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">People of color are not stereotyped or victims</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">White people working in solidarity with people of color</li>
</ul>
Copeland explained:

“Often people believe that racism is just a matter of blatant acts by whites of bigotry, discrimination or hatred. Sometimes racism looks like that. But sometimes it looks like policies or practices or belief systems that have similar effects to discrimination…An example [would be] the many voter suppression laws…[that] make it harder for black people to vote.”

In January 2023, Copeland published an article in the <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/03/opinion/art-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Globe</a> titled, “The art of denial: How racism deniers obscure the reality of racism, minimizing its significance.” He claims that racism denial is a “political strategy” perpetuated by those who “attempt to convince people racism is no longer an issue.”

Drawing on Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to be an Antiracist” philosophy, Copeland outlines racism denial into eight forms of evidence, including “minimizing,” “myopia” and “revising history.” The full list with definitions can be found <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/03/opinion/art-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Dr. Allyn Walker is an openly transgender —preferred pronouns they/them—a postdoctoral fellow at the <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. In June of 2021, Dr. Walker <a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520306363/a-long-dark-shadow">wrote a book titled</a>, A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1773 aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-15-at-11.31.39-AM.png" alt="" width="466" height="222" />

The book, which Dr. Walker describes as interview-based research, discusses non-offending pedophiles (or Minor-Attracted Persons, as Dr. Walker calls them). According to Dr. Walker, the book highlights people who are attracted to minors who don’t don’t commit violent crimes in order to challenge the “widespread assumption that those who are ‘preferentially attracted to minors’ are always predators and sex offenders.” The book details how those who don’t commit violent crimes against children navigate their feelings and attraction to minors.

On November 11, 2021<a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1458985538334068740?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a series of videos on Twitter of Dr. Walker came to light</a>. In these videos, Dr. Walker tries to normalize the term “Minor-Attracted Person” (MAP) and destigmatize pedophilia. In the video, Dr. Walker claims that it is important to call a group by a name in which they want to be called. Dr. Walker states that groups are advocating for MAP as their name because it’s less stigmatized than the term pedophile, and they are doing nothing wrong if they aren’t committing violent crimes against children. Dr. Walker goes on to say that who a person is attracted to (in this case children) isn’t indicative of the morality of that person or that attraction. The video series can be viewed below:

After the video received a significant amount of backlash, <a href="https://www.wtkr.com/news/odu-releases-statement-after-assistant-professor-gives-controversial-interview-defending-people-attracted-to-children">Old Dominion University—Dr. Walker’s employer at the time—released a statement</a>, asserting that, as an academic community, it’s vital to be “willing to consider scientific and other empirical data that may involve controversial issues and perspectives.” They went on to claim that they don’t endorse or promote any crimes against children or any form of criminal activity.

Old Dominion University would later announce that Dr. Allyn Walker would <a href="https://www.odu.edu/news/2021/11/a_statement_from_old_dominion_university#.Yn343qjMI2w">resign at the expiration of his contract</a> in May 2022.

<a href="https://www.jgillpeterson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jules Gill-Peterson</a> is an Associate Professor of History at <a href="https://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johns Hopkins University</a>. He has referred to the gender binary as “junk science” and advocated for allowing children to transition at any age.

In his substack—<a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/archive?sort=new" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sad Brown Girl</a>—Peterson attacks conservatives as transphobic, denies there can be only two genders, and documents his life as a transwoman and activist. In one article, titled “The Cis State,” he claims the <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-cis-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender binary never existed historically in the medical community</a>. Rather, politicians and psychologists invented the concept 70 years ago in a nefarious attempt to control people.

“...[S]ex did not become cis until the invention of the concept of gender in the mid-twentieth century. Gender was invented by psychologists to bring order to the collapse of the sex binary in science and medicine.”  

During an interview with Scientific American, <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/how-junk-science-is-being-used-against-trans-kids2/#Echobox=1649463388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peterson claims the idea of a gender binary is still weaponized by present-day scientists against trans people.</a> After being introduced by the host as a “science historian,” he again states that scientists had no idea what determined sex or gender until the mid-20th century.

Further on, Peterson asserts there is no consensus on what determines whether someone is male or female. He then compares any scientific attempts to do so with the “junk science” of the eugenics movement and inflicting harm on trans people.

Peterson often addresses issues surrounding transgender children and berates critics who challenge that children can transition at a young age. On his <a href="https://twitter.com/gp_jls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal Twitter account</a>, Peterson urges his followers to “champion” trans children, and even “to want there to be trans kids in the world.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
South Dakota has spent SEVEN YEARS working to pass this anti-trans bill. Trans people have had to organize against it for seven years—and now it passes. Chase is right, everyone needs to champion trans kids in progressive coalition. Kids can’t outrun seven relentless years alone. <a href="https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/UTael9Kkdx</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I believe more than ever that the way to end a child-hating culture where everyone is invested in children suffering is to learn to want there to be trans kids in this world. To relinquish the wish that we selfishly own them. To greet transness not as hypothetical but valuable. <a href="https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/pMqf4Gx5zK</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In a separate thread, he calls for the “abolition” of the family to relieve the “bulwark” of protection that parents provide children.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
an underrated problem in the left’s neoliberal retreat from family abolition (shoutout again to <a href="https://twitter.com/reproutopia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@reproutopia</a>) is that trans kids are left with a pitifully anemic option for care. the...family? we except the family to ideally care for trans kids? based on what evidence?!

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am certainly heartened that many families do love and champion their trans kids. but I also want a political movement that relieves loving trans kids from a privatized, sentimental and normative politics of the family as bulwark against the various ends of the world underway.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Peterson claims that <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/163113/behind-gop-strategy-outlaw-trans-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it’s false to “presume” that trans kids will be cared for by their families</a>. His comments appeared in an interview with The New Republic, where he depicted parents as an impediment to trans children. He attacks white women as segregationists who weaponize their status as mothers to fuel anti-trans legislation. “The figure of the mom is hanging over everything,” she states.

In a separate substack article, <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/we-the-abuser-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he further claims that “parental rights” are inhibiting minors from making fully autonomous decisions about their gender</a>.

“The slogan of ‘parental rights” is at the root of the fantasy that children are quasi-property, not people.”

Conservatives who object to transitioning children are <a href="https://thenewinquiry.com/from-gender-critical-to-qanon-anti-trans-politics-and-the-laundering-of-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">branded as QAnon-style conspiracy theorists</a> who are aiming to construct an “<a href="https://jewishcurrents.org/the-anti-trans-lobbys-real-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authoritarian Christian ethnostate.</a>”

Much of this ire is directed toward author Abigail Shrier author of, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Irreversible-Damage-Transgender-Seducing-Daughters/dp/1684510317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Irreversible Damage.”</a> The book examines the exponential increase in rates of gender dysphoria among teenagers—of which Shrier attributes to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-peer-contagion-plays-into-the-rise-of-teens-transitioning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“peer contagion”</a>—and the negative, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/hormone-treatments-gender-dysphoric-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long-term health effects on teens who undergo gender transitions</a>.

Reacting to a Senate testimony delivered by Shrier on trans children, Peterson <a href="https://sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/abigail-shrier-goes-to-washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labels her as a “TERF”</a> (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) who is unqualified to speak on trans issues, in part because Shrier is not transgender herself. She accuses Shrier of flirting with white supremacy and peddling “pedophilic fantasies.”

“I invite you to join me in standing against the extreme sexual harassment, pedophilic fantasies, and torturous sadism of TERF and anti-trans rhetoric peddled by people like Shrier, backed up by an army of internet trolls and well-funded cultural tastemakers getting rich off pretending they are humiliated and canceled.“

Peterson is also the author of “History of the Transgender Child,” which maintains that <a href="https://history.jhu.edu/faculty-books/histories-of-the-transgender-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender children have been prevalent and well-documented over the last century</a>. He further serves as the General Editor of <a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/tsq-transgender-studies-quarterly">Transgender Studies Quarterly</a>, of which the next issue will feature “Trans Marxist” authors and perspectives.

<a href="https://krieger.jhu.edu/africana/directory/shani-mott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shani Mott</a> is a Lecturer of Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Her research interests “address how mid-twentieth century writers of both fiction and non-fiction strategically deployed racial language in American popular culture.”

Mott’s university profile also mentions a manuscript titled, “Saving the Soul of the Great Republic: Imagining Race and Writing Democracy.” According to the description, the book “argues that authors writing during the inter- and postwar years of the twentieth century relied on ‘literary racial transvestism,’ a practice wherein black authors wrote novels with predominantly white characters and [vice versa].”

The College Fix said the countersuit mentions a home in the same neighborhood that sold within a month of Mott’s. The same company appraised the home for $7,000 less than the purchase price. Further, Mott and her husband did not provide their appraiser with documentation of any additional estimates showing a higher home value.

The News-Letter further claimed, “The letter also emphasizes a commitment to upholding academic freedom in the context of the global dehumanization of Palestinian life in media cover and public discourse.” 

Khan told the News-Letter that “the letter is only a small step that joins forces with the various efforts organized by Hopkins students, such as the October 30 <a href="https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2023/11/hopkins-community-partakes-in-walkout-in-solidarity-with-palestine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walkout</a> and the October 23 <a href="https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2023/10/dissenters-at-johns-hopkins-university-organize-vigil-to-mourn-palestinian-lives-lost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">candlelight</a> vigil organized by the Johns Hopkins Dissenters and Speak Out Now.”

The open letter—drafted two weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel—starts by acknowledging the loss of life on both sides of the conflict. However, the statement of solidarity with Gaza goes on to say:
“...Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to a draconian collective punishment. We condemn the horrific ongoing violence inflicted on the Palestinian people, and we urgently call for an end to the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip. The risk of genocide is real.”

<a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yascha Mounk</a> is a Professor of Practice of International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). Mounk’s faculty profile says he is “a political scientist known for his work on the rise of populism and the crisis of liberal democracy.”

Mounk was outspoken on Twitter after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Mounk wrote that Israel “has every right to defend itself” but that their response constituted “moral error” when Palestinians become casualties. However, Mounk did not acknowledge <a href="https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas’ use of human shields as a war tactic</a>. The militant group often stores its arsenal inside civilian structures (e.g. schools, hospitals, and mosques).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hamas murdered over 1,400 people in an indescribably sadistic manner.

Its leaders have made it very clear that they will continue to murder Israeli civilians if given the chance.

Israel has every right to defend itself.

But that is all the more reason for Israel to operate in…
— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1719768116756963781?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2023</a></blockquote>

According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/02/05/atlantic-yascha-mounk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Mounk said, “I am aware of the horrendous allegations against me. It is categorically untrue.” The Post also referred to <a href="https://libertiesjournal.com/articles/after-rape-a-guide-for-the-tormented/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an essay</a> published by the victim that said, “When the shrieking stops … you will reach the phase at which all you can think and talk about is the rape.”

JHU has not publicly stated whether Mounk will remain in his faculty position. As of publication, <a href="https://sais.jhu.edu/users/ymounk1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his profile</a> does not show him on leave from the college.

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/peter-fields.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peter Fields</a> is the Dr. E. Paul &amp; Frances H. Reiff Professor of Biology at Franklin &amp; Marshall University. According to his university profile, Fields’ research focuses on “the biochemical origins of coral bleaching [and] molecular dynamics simulations to describe the effect of environmental stresses on protein function.”
Fields was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 
Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”
The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”
The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 
They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

McNulty’s university profile states she is a “Latin Americanist with expertise in participatory governance, gender, decentralization, and development.”

In March 2021, McNulty co-authored an <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/03/12/colleges-must-acknowledge-challenges-facing-female-academics-who-juggle-work-and#.YHTMhYqX9L4.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on equity. The authors put forth the following goal to resolve what they deem to be the lessening of diversity and equity caused by COVID-19:
“For starters, every institution must acknowledge the problem and openly address what can appear invisible and ignored to those of us living in this reality. The academy risks emerging from this pandemic with less diversity and gender equity than before unless we change course. The first step is initiating a conversation and listening. Once people have a space to talk openly about their challenges, a lot of problem solving and solutions naturally emerge.”\

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/christine-chalifoux.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine Chalifoux</a> is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Africana Studies at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. Her university profile states, “Her research explores how people forge kinship bonds across ethnic lines in a city where stereotypes bear the weight of colonial and postcolonial histories. She is also interested in rethinking the notions of both caregiving and resistance, and all of her work grapples with the dialectical relationship between intimacy and resentment.”

Chalifoux was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.”

<a href="https://www.fandm.edu/directory/nicholas-montemarano.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicholas Montemarano</a> is the Alumni Professor of Creative Writing and Belles Lettres and a Professor of English at Franklin &amp; Marshall College. 

Montemarano was one of 125 Franklin &amp; Marshall faculty members who jointly signed a <a href="https://yaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Letter20of20Solidarity20Final.pdf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to “denounce the [university’s] choice to invite transphobic speaker Paula Scanlan to our campus on March 27, in close proximity to Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Paula Scanlan was a teammate of “transgender” swimmer Lia Thomas, previously William Thomas, who swam on the women’s team at the University of Pennsylvania. Scanlan has <a href="https://rumble.com/v2sno54-the-university-wanted-us-to-be-quiet-lia-thomas-teammate-speaks-out-to-matt.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressed</a> that she was uncomfortable with Thomas being a member of the team due to his gender and felt her female teammates were overlooked in favor of Thomas’s greater strength and athleticism. 

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The faculty who wrote the letter state that Scanlan “is working with a well-funded, far-right ‘culture war’ machine that seeks to sow division, provoke backlash, generate publicity, and weaken public confidence in higher education.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization.

Scanlan embarked on a lecture tour in partnership with Young America’s Foundation during the Spring 2024 semester to discuss her college swim experience at universities across the country. Her lecture was titled “Biological Men Should Not Compete in Women’s Sports.”

The writers further claim that Scanlan is “transphobic” because of her statements about Thomas. They say Scanlan has “refused to acknowledge the identity of the trans community:” 
“In videos of her campus visits available online, we have seen Scanlan disrespect, misgender, and mock trans people. Scanlan also has a history of (a) invoking the unsubstantiated idea that the presence of transgender women creates a threat of sexual violence to cisgender women, and (b) making direct reference to the physical appearance of Lia Thomas’s genitalia.”
Towards the end of their letter, the professors state their supposed commitment to free speech, no matter how disagreeable that speech may be to them. Yet, they are against the university inviting “speakers to campus whose demonstrated aim is to demean, devalue, and threaten the lives of our friends, family, and community members.” 

They conclude the letter with the following statements in affirmation of the “transgender community:”
“We believe that our role as a college community must include speaking out against such dehumanization. To the queer, trans, and nonbinary members of our community: you have allies on this campus who value and support you. We are committed to fighting alongside you. To President Altmann and the F&amp;M administration: we call on you to make a strong, unequivocal statement of care and support on behalf of all of our LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and community members.”

<a href="https://german.princeton.edu/department/people/faculty/core/barbara-nagel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbara Nagel</a> is an Associate Professor in the Princeton German Department and an Associate Faculty member of the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies. According to her university profile, her research and teaching interests include “gender and sexuality, theology, psychoanalysis, law with a historical focus on the Baroque, literature around 1800, and realism.”
In April 2024, Nagel signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.
The statement begins:
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.”</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.”</li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following:
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.”

Published – December 13, 2024
The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) launched a new LGBTQ course in Fall 2024. “<a href="https://texasscorecard.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ut-austin-syl_wgs303_fall2024_sahinler-redacted.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to LGBT Studies</a>,” taught by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibeksahinler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Ipek Sahinler</a>, features assigned reading that promotes the sexualization of minors. The course description states:
“This course offers students an intersectional perspective on LGBTQ+ studies, encompassing key theoretical, historical, and methodological approaches. Students will gain foundational skills in theory, history, and research methods, investigating the social construction of sexual identity and its interplay with [race], class, religion, and nationality.”
Learning outcomes for the course include, but are not limited to:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate a strong understanding of LGBTQ+ studies and its historical context–both locally and globally,” </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate how gender intersects with race, class, ability, and other social constructs,” and </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Use and produce language to go beyond binaristic ways of thinking.”</li>
</ul>
Required reading includes a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=o0CRAgAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=The+Routledge+Queer+Studies+Reader&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj05vjAiJGKAxXsI0QIHdXgDMgQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&amp;q=The%20Routledge%20Queer%20Studies%20Reader&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collection of essays</a> called “The Routledge Queer Studies Reader” with multiple contributing authors. The introduction says the book pays “homage to the publication nearly twenty years previous, The Routledge Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader.” 
In chapter one—entitled “Queer and Now”—the author leads a discussion on teen suicide among those who profess to be gay or lesbian by declaring:
“I look at my adult friends and colleagues doing lesbian and gay work, and I feel that the survival of each one is a miracle… How to tell kids who are supposed never to learn this, that, farther along, the road widens and the air brightens; that in the big world there are worlds where it’s plausible, our demand to get used to it.”
The “Introduction to LGBT Studies” is only one hyper-sexualized course among several undergraduate credit hours available to students in the <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/wgss/courses/lgbtq-studies.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBT Studies</a> and Women’s, <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/lgbtq/undergraduate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> programs.

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/jennifer_adair">Dr. Jennifer Adair</a> is an Associate Professor at the University of Texas, Austin. Dr. Adair proposed indoctrinating children as young as kindergarten in racial issues, in order to ‘prevent another Ferguson.' One proposed project involved having the students make protest signs about racial injustice or other art projects about school integration or bus boycotts. Adair and the other professors working with her drew heavily from the philosophy of historian Howard Zinn in their effort.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/history/faculty/jn324" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Joan Neuberger</a>, a professor at University of Texas-Austin led anti-campus carry efforts, including a petition to bar students who conceal carry from entering classrooms, in violation of Texas law. A change.org petition organized by the same group said, “WE OPPOSE GUNS IN OUR CLASSROOMS AS A DIRECT ASSAULT ON OUR FREE SPEECH RIGHTS.” Despite her proclamations about the dangers of guns, Neuberger is not actually a statistician or criminal justice professor, but a Russian history professor.

<a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/rs/faculty/jt27">John Traphagan</a> is a Professor Emeritus in the Religious Studies Program at The University of Texas at Austin.

In 2015, Traphagan wrote an opinion piece for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151014135802/http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/latest-columns/20150518-john-traphagan-when-will-we-examine-our-heavily-armed-culture.ece">The Dallas Morning News</a> titled “When will we examine our heavily armed culture?” In his article, Traphagan calls for gun control measures and says “Americans do not seem to be able to handle gun ownership in a way that permits maintenance of a civil society.” He writes:
“There is simply no need for a civilized society to tolerate the type of gun-related violence that Americans seem to accept as normal. Other modern industrial countries have realized, in some cases long ago, that it is unnecessary for people in a free society to have easy access to guns.” 
Traphagan claims “the solution to gun-related crime is not further arming the public.” Rather, he argues:
“It involves enacting comprehensive gun control laws that prohibit many forms of gun ownership, significantly curtailing or eliminating access to and the ability to purchase guns, and implementing programs in which the government confiscates or purchases illegal guns already in circulation among the public.” 
Furthermore, Traphagan claims that “Americans need to recognize that one of the greatest threats to national security is their own heavily armed population.” To fix this problem, he writes, “Unfortunately, our proven inability to handle widespread gun ownership suggests strongly that the way to do this is to deeply restrict access to and ownership of most types of guns.”

He concludes his article by saying that people would be better off in a society with no guns because they would have “peace of mind and experience freedom from violence and the freedom to pursue their lives in safety and happiness rather than fear.”

While teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, Shingavi co-founded the anti-Israel group <a href="https://canarymission.org/organization/sjp">Students for Justice in Palestine</a> (SJP) with Professor Hatem Bazian.  SJP is known for its vitriolic campaigns and aggressively confronting Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus. They are also known for their active role in Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns on university campuses.

Snehal first generated controversy at UC Berkeley in 2002 for his <a href="https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/7789/hardball-interview-with-snehal-shingavi">course</a>, "The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance." The course description alleged that Israel has “systematically displaced, killed and maimed millions of Palestinian people.”

The course also all, but outright barred conservative students from attending: “This class takes as its starting point the right of Palestinians to fight for their own self-determination. Conservative thinkers are encouraged to seek other sections.”

Now teaching at UT Austin, <a href="https://canarymission.org/professor/Snehal_Shingavi">Shehal</a> is a regular at protests and events committed to demonizing Israel. During a 2014 lecture, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAGtcdPL244&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=13m15s">likened</a> Israel to Nazi Germany, claiming, “This is not me being hyperbolic…..Gaza is the biggest open air concentration camp in the world today and the condition of life in Gaza is not dissimilar to life in Auschwitz and Dachau.”

Thomas K. Hubbard was the James R. Dougherty Jr. Centennial Professor of Classics, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190905194331/https://minio.la.utexas.edu/colaweb-prod/person_files/0/354/thomas_k_hubbard_curriculum_vitae.pdf">who taught at the University of Texas-Austin from 1988 t0 2021</a>. Hubbard’s body of research included ancient pederasty – adult male sexual relations with underage boys  – which Hubbard calls the “<a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">romantic courtship</a>” of teenage boys by older men.

Writing in the peer-reviewed Thymos Journal of Boyhood Studies, Hubbard detailed this position in an article titled, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276216200_Sexual_Consent_and_the_Adolescent_Male_or_What_Can_We_Learn_from_the_Greeks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sexual Consent and the Adolescent Male, or What Can We Learn From the Greeks</a>.

Hubbard’s work has been distributed and used by <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/12/17/ut-students-protest-professors-house-over-his-writings-on-sexual-relations-between-men-and-boys/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">groups like the North American Man/Boy Love Association</a> (NAMBLA), which advocates for the abolishment of age-of-consent laws between children and adults.

The University of Texas-Austin’s administration reaffirmed Hibbard’s right to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/students-want-thomas-hubbard-fired-for-work-on-pederasty-but-university-of-texas-says-its-protected-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“explore controversial and offensive ideas</a>.” As of December 2020, <a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/news/education/2020/07/23/ut-professor-accused-of-promoting-pedophilia-sues-student-for-libel/42515639/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hubbard is suing a student and 10 others for libel</a> after they distributed flyers labeling him a pedophile.
UPDATE 
A university spokeswoman has informed the Professor Watchlist team that Thomas Hubbard is no longer employed at the University of Texas. As stated in their response, Dr. Hubbard announced his retirement in July of 2021 and is no longer associated with the University in any capacity.

Despite their written statement, <a href="https://cola.utexas.edu/european_studies/people/faculty/thubbard">Dr. Hubbard was still listed on the university website</a> as a professor in the Center for European Studies at the time of the university's letter

In his final years as CIA director, Brennan played a prominent role in what later became known as “Russiagate.” During the 2016 general election, intelligence agencies attempted to determine whether or not then-presidential candidate Donald Trump coordinated with the Russian Government to <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/288883-wikileaks-posts-20000-dnc-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hack and release sensitive emails from the Democratic National Committee</a>. Special Counsel Robert Mueller later found that there was <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/mueller-report-found-no-evidence-of-trump-russia-collusion-justice-dept/a-48046468" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence of any coordination between the Trump Campaign and the Russian Government</a>.

While investigating Trump, John Brennan relied on allegations in what became known as the “Steele Dossier”— <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/23/545289362/researcher-behind-unverified-trump-dossier-meets-senate-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of salacious allegations and potentially compromising information against Donald Trump</a> — compiled by British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/steeles-dossier-source-was-a-suspected-russian-spy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source for the dossier was later found to be a suspected Russian Spy,</a> who likely <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/453384-fbis-spreadsheet-puts-a-stake-through-the-heart-of-steeles-dossier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exaggerated or falsified his information</a>.

Despite <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agents flagging the information as false</a>, the Steele Dossier was later used as the basis to <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/09/ig-report-confirms-no-fisa-warrant-on-carter-page-without-steele-dossier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtain warrants to surveil members of the Trump campaign</a>.

Declassified, handwritten notes from Brennan further show that he assisted in <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/dni-releases-cia-documents-hillary-204337457.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">efforts to tie the Trump campaign to Russia</a> to benefit the Hillary Clinton campaign. This is consistent with testimony accusing <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/05/12/fox-news-john-brennan-russia-hillary-clinton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan of suppressing intelligence that the Russian Government wanted Hillary Clinton to win</a> the 2016 presidential election.

Brennan continued to publically attack President Trump after the 2016 election, accusing <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/08/19/brennan_on_sunday_i_stand_by_accusing_president_trump_of_treason.html#!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him of “treason” against the United States on behalf of Russia</a>. Brennan <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/05/25/ex-cia-director-john-brennan-ive-seen-no-evidence-collusion-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admits that he has seen no evidence that Donald Trump colluded</a> with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.

On his personal Twitter account, Brennan demands that conservatives need to publically recant their support of Donald Trump and admit that it was wrong to support the President of the United States.

Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore &amp; enable his corrupt, dishonest, &amp; divisive agenda.

Brennan has admitted in the past that he voted for the Communist Party in past elections. According to CNN, Brennan <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recounts</a> that he admitted to voting for the Communist Party Candidate, Gus Hall, in the 1976 general election. Brennan is reported <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/09/15/politics/john-brennan-cia-communist-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stating</a> that voting for Hall was his way of “signaling his unhappiness of the system.”

As The Spectator <a href="https://spectator.org/john-brennans-president-remembering-comrade-gus-hall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a>, Gus Hall was a four-time presidential candidate and leader of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).

Dr. Kevin Cokley is the <a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/kevin_cokley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department Chair of the Department of Educational Psychology</a> as well as a Professor of African American Diaspora Studies and Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas - Austin. He is a Distinguished Teaching Professor and is published in many outlets, including Journal of Black Psychology, The Huffington Post, and The Hill. Dr. Cokley has taught many courses, some of which are Psychology of African American Experience and Multicultural Counseling.

Dr. Cokley is very openly pro-critical race theory. <a href="https://www.courierpress.com/story/opinion/2021/07/15/viewpoint-teaching-critical-race-theory-patriotic-not-anti-american/7982099002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In an opinion piece for Courier &amp; Press</a>, Dr. Cokley claims that critical race theory is actually patriotic. He accuses conservatives of pushing a false narrative about critical race theory by claiming it’s “divisive, hostile, and anti-American… and teaches kids to hate each other” which is a “politicized misrepresentation.”

Later in the article, Dr. Cokley makes the claim that the first line of the U.S. Constitution, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” suggests that even our founders believed America is a work-in progress. According to him, critical race theory reminds us that this is still very true.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1842" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screen-Shot-2021-11-19-at-9.25.31-AM.png" alt="" width="494" height="177" />

Dr. Cokley <a href="https://redstate.com/alexparker/2021/07/09/usa-today-runs-pro-critical-race-theory-piece-professor-says-crts-not-divisive-or-anti-american-n408847" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defines critical race theory</a> as an idea “which posits that racism is not simply acts of individual bias or prejudice, but rather is embedded in institutions, policies and legal systems.” While he states he has never explicitly taught critical race theory, he does teach ideas consistent with critical race theory by providing students with examples of how Black inferiority and racism are deeply woven into modern school practices. He asserts that conservatives who are against critical race theory are wanting to prevent any type of discussion around racism or putting America in a negative light. Dr. Cokley argues that there is nothing anti-American about acknowledging the fact that racism is woven into the fabric of the United States.

In June of 2021, Dr. Cokley appeared on a <a href="https://www.fox7austin.com/video/690219" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segment for Fox 7 News Austin</a> discussing racial injustices. The video shows violent riots after the death of George Floyd while Dr. Cokley justifies this behavior because of racial injustice in America.

“Rather than asserting one shared definition of critical mathematics pedagogy, we read widely and discuss a range of theory and approaches… Readings have focused on critical pedagogy, culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining pedagogies, math for social justice, racial justice, gender equity, the involvement of families and communities in classrooms, and questions of equity in mathematics more broadly.”

“Concerns about mathematics education quality in the United States tend to be oriented toward access to participation and success in a fast-paced, rapidly technologizing capitalist economy (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014).”

Harvard Educational Review, 82(3), 403–424: “In the case of this study, the subjective constructs of race are the ways in which issues of race and racism are rendered in the Texas standards… Racism plays out in schools through the context of unequal and oppressive social relationships among different racial groups (Omi &amp; Winant, 1994). For example, CRT scholars (e.g., Lopez, 2003) suggest that racially neutral macro-level educational laws and policies may dis-guise the salience and impact of racism in schools.” (407). “This is of particular concern because, as scholars note, White, middle-class teachers—who make up the majority of practicing and preparing teachers in the United States (Sleeter, 2008)—often resist addressing the topic of race and racism, a phenomenon related to their privileged and racially isolated social location (Brown &amp; Brown, 2010a; Epstein, 2009).” (420).</li>

Journal of Educational Policy, 26(5), 595–619: “The authors maintain that in recent years educational theory and critical policy discourse have unintentionally become splintered in such a way that race and class theories are employed separately, without much analysis of the concomitant ways race and racism are both embedded in and productive of the material processes of production and exploitation that characterize capitalism... The authors propose the framework of economies of racism to make sense of the complex unity that brings white supremacy and capitalist accumulation together in a single dialectic.”</li>

<a href="https://education.utexas.edu/faculty/noah_de_lissovoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah De Lissovoy</a> is a Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas - Austin.

Professor De Lissovoy's research focuses on critical and emancipatory approaches to pedagogy, curriculum, and cultural studies. His interests are based on problems posed to educators by globalization and the intersecting effects of race, class, and capital in schools and society. Additionally, developing the theoretical resources for social movements and extending and rethinking the traditions of critical pedagogy and philosophy. 

According to <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2016/10/12/q-noah-de-lissovoy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Texas Tribune</a>, De Lissovoy participated in a Q&amp;A regarding his book: <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137375315" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Education and Emancipation in the Neoliberal Era</a>. This book “describes how neoliberalism as societal philosophy works to limit human potential in our school systems. Analyzing contemporary school reform and control, punishment, and pathologization in schools, this book outlines a theory of emancipation and a process by which pedagogy can build solidarity in classrooms and society more broadly.” 

“How does neo-liberalism limit potentials in schools?” 

De Lissovoy states: “It frames learning as an individual process, rather than a social and democratic process. In neo-liberalism, students are trained to understand themselves as in competition, always, with those around them and that their job is to advance themselves and to develop their own human capital and stock of skills against everyone else... It also limits potential because it reduces our collective understanding of what it means to teach and learn to those kinds of activities and understandings that can’t be measured by multiple-choice tests and standardized tests…”

&nbsp;
Professor De Lissovoy has authored many books, such as: 

<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/capitalism-pedagogy-and-the-politics-of-being-9781350157453/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitalism, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Being</a>: This book “investigates the relationship between capitalism and coloniality in society and education and reconceptualizes emancipatory theory and pedagogy in response. De Lissovoy exposes a logic of violation at the heart of capitalist accumulation and argues that we need to attend to ontological and epistemological orders of domination within which subjectivity takes shape. Systematically bridging the theoretical traditions of Marxism, Latin American decolonial thought, and critical pedagogy, De Lissovoy shows how a new critical imaginary can reorder curriculum in schools…”</li>

In the study’s citations section, there are numerous works by anti-racist and critical theorists such as <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/robindiangelo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robin DeAngelo</a> and <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibramxkendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibram X Kendi</a>. Readers may learn more about these professors on their respective profiles on the Professor Watchlist. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/11/19/university-texas-taxpayer-funds-anti-blackness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">While the program was officially suspended in the fall of 2021</a> pending a complaint to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for  Civil Rights, the study soon began accepting applicants again.

According to <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=21679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Gill joined a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A3ID6pPsCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">panel</a> regarding “Black Queer Religions, Afro-Indigenous, and New Religions.” The panel examined queer and quare terminologies. They discussed how “quare is a derivative of queer;” and one speaker noted that the term quare means “to be black, queer, and religious in various ways.”

In regards to "quare’s etymology," Gill stated that it is a “regional vernacular redeployment of 'queer' in a North Carolinian, African American tongue of a certain generation.” Additionally, he noted how the words are “shades of each other” such as the colors “lavender and purple.” Quare “reminds us to resist the tempting universalizing impulse of 'queer.'"

The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) launched a new LGBTQ course in Fall 2024. “<a href="https://texasscorecard.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ut-austin-syl_wgs303_fall2024_sahinler-redacted.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to LGBT Studies</a>,” taught by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/ibeksahinler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Ipek Sahinler</a>, features assigned reading that promotes the sexualization of minors. The course description states:
“This course offers students an intersectional perspective on LGBTQ+ studies, encompassing key theoretical, historical, and methodological approaches. Students will gain foundational skills in theory, history, and research methods, investigating the social construction of sexual identity and its interplay with [race], class, religion, and nationality.”
Learning outcomes for the course include, but are not limited to:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate a strong understanding of LGBTQ+ studies and its historical context–both locally and globally,” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Demonstrate how gender intersects with race, class, ability, and other social constructs,” and </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“Use and produce language to go beyond binaristic ways of thinking.”</li>
</ul>
Required reading includes a <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=o0CRAgAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=The+Routledge+Queer+Studies+Reader&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj05vjAiJGKAxXsI0QIHdXgDMgQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&amp;q=The%20Routledge%20Queer%20Studies%20Reader&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collection of essays</a> called “The Routledge Queer Studies Reader” with multiple contributing authors. The introduction says the book pays “homage to the publication nearly twenty years previous, The Routledge Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader.” 

In chapter one—entitled “Queer and Now”—the author leads a discussion on teen suicide among those who profess to be gay or lesbian by declaring:
“I look at my adult friends and colleagues doing lesbian and gay work, and I feel that the survival of each one is a miracle… How to tell kids who are supposed never to learn this, that, farther along, the road widens and the air brightens; that in the big world there are worlds where it’s plausible, our demand to get used to it.”
The “Introduction to LGBT Studies” is only one hyper-sexualized course among several undergraduate credit hours available to students in the <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/wgss/courses/lgbtq-studies.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBT Studies</a> and Women’s, <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/lgbtq/undergraduate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> programs.
