A University of Cambridge academic has suggested that a meritocracy would reduce the number of black Harvard professors to almost zero.
Nathan Cofnas, an early career fellow at the faculty of philosophy, wants a “hereditarian revolution” and for a culture of “race realism” that acknowledges differences between ethnicities.
However, in a blog he says that many supporters of his theories are less intelligent than people who are more “woke”.
Cofnas, who was hired by the university in 2022, said that, without imposed diversity in recruiting, that black people “would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment”.
