Boston University Calls It Quits on Ibram X. Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research

Boston University’s much-maligned Center for Antiracist Research will be shut down this coming summer as its founder, Ibram X. Kendi, prepares to jump ship to Howard University. Kendi had high hopes for his Center for Antiracist Research, saying the $50 million project would "solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequality and injustice" when he launched the initiative at the height of the "defund the police" movement in 2020. But the center produced hardly any research five years into the project, and Boston University now says it wants nothing more to do with it when its charter expires on June 30.
