> the opinion piece, Abbot and professor Ivan Marinovic criticized diversity, equity and inclusion standards as "treating people as members of a group rather than as individuals, repeating the mistake that made possible the atrocities of the 20th century." > "It treats persons as merely means to an end, giving primacy to a statistic over the individuality of a human being," they wrote in the opinion piece. > His position over college diversity efforts sparked pushback from many academics on social media who said his rhetoric harms people of color in colleges and academia, some criticizing him for saying Nazi Germany also "drove scholars out" as "an ideological regime obsessed with race." I don’t see how this view is so bad that it warrants cancelling a lecture. I could understand if he was saying hate speech. I can see why his view is misguided because he doesn’t understand that individual measurements like IQ are biased. But really? This seems more far-left than MIT. Honestly if you really think his views are wrong you could try explaining to him. He seems like a decent person you can actually talk to.
