U. of I. cancels talk by Nobel laureate after faculty raises concerns about his views on race, intelligence-go to link to find out the truth-
Associated Press
The University of Illinois has cancelled plans to host a talk by Nobel Laureate James Watson after faculty raised concerns about his discredited views on race and intelligence. …
Watson, 89, co-discovered the structure of DNA and has a history of racially insensitive comments.
Robinson said Watson initially reached out to the institute to give a “narrowly focused scientific talk” about his cancer research in conjunction with a planned visit to a colleague’s lab. Robinson said he wasn’t surprised by faculty members’ reaction.
