Description
For years, a white professor on the proudly diverse campus of Cal State East Bay in Hayward taught misinformation — that Black and Latino students were inherently less smart. Race, he said, predicted intelligence. But even after students and faculty complained, little was done to address the harm caused by Prof. Gregory Christainsen. Chronicle reporter Jason Fagone discusses his examination of what happened at the school, when efforts to confront legacies of racism collided with complex notions of academic freedom and a brand of racist pseudoscience that is deeply rooted in America and in higher education.
