This came after the union, which represents teaching and research assistants, crawled through years of blog posts and interviews Hsu had conducted and criticized him for sharing content on genetic differences among different races.

If there are no genetic differences among races, then there is no natural reason for different races, which means that there is no such thing as white on black murders because you cannot ask the person who died what their race is.

An open letter signed by more than 500 faculty and staff at Michigan State argued Hsu supports the idea that intelligence is linked to genetics.

If genetics don’t play a factor in intelligence, then there is no such thing as having an intellectual disability, e.g. having Down’s syndrome doesn’t explain them having the intellectual capacity of a 5 year old.

The graduate union told The Fix that administrators should not share research that runs counter to public statements by the university.

Glad to see academic freedom is alive and well at Michigan State.

President Stanley released a statement on June 19 where he defended his decision to pressure Hsu to resign. “I believe this is what is best for our university to continue our progress forward. The exchange of ideas is essential to higher education, and I fully support our faculty and their academic freedom to address the most difficult and controversial issues.” “But when senior administrators at MSU choose to speak out on any issue, they are viewed as speaking for the university as a whole. Their statements should not leave any room for doubt about their, or our, commitment to the success of faculty, staff and students,” he added.

*Unless it offends someone. Then we will ignore the science behind it.

KiA had a vote like 2 years ago regarding restricting posting rules. What sort of posts would be allowed, did they have to be on topic, would a self post be fine, etc. The community overwhelmingly voted for the most permissive option where self posts were fine as long as it didn’t break other rules and link posts were fine as long as you could make a connection to a core topic and we’ll as some other things. We wanted to be able to discuss stuff like BLM doing idiotic and criminal stuff, msm news being morally bankrupt, stuff that didn’t have any direct connection to gaming.

Fast forward six months to a year later. The mods decide to change the posting rules to what they wanted and ignore the community vote. Having their vote that was clearly against this invalidated didn’t sit well with us and the mods being massive dicks while discussing this and never holding each other accountable despite clear and repeated violations of rule 1 (don’t be a dick). We tried to work with them, but KiA’s mods didn’t want to have their decisions and power questioned. So we made our own KiA with blackjack and hookers.

It’s about damn time. This should definitely have been done after the first shooting, if not before then.
