    NYPost is a garbage source. They quote Nathan Cofnas and refer to him as a ‘post doctoral researcher’, yet say nothing else of him.

    In a blog post from 2024, he claimed that black people were, on average, less intelligent than white people. Such statements have alarmed some academics within the department.

    Cofnas identifies himself as a “philosopher of biology” and advocates for what he calls “race realism,” asserting that meaningful biological differences exist between population groups. Critics argue these theories lack credible scientific support and have historically been used to justify racism and eugenics.

      So you’re saying that Jason Arday is still a Cambridge professor, was never accused of plagiarism, and is till alive?

      You may be right. NYP is a garbage source.
