Eric Stewart published several reports in which he claimed that white people saw black citizens as a threat. For his research, he received at least $3.5 million in grants.
Eric Stewart, professor of criminology at Florida State University, has been accused of falsifying data for studies in which he pushed the narrative that racism is systemic. It was known that at least six of Stewart's articles published in major academic journals such as Criminology and Law and Society Review from 2003 to 2019 have been retracted.
"The academic was fired after almost 20 years of his data — including figures used in an explosive study, which claimed the legacy of lynchings made whites perceive blacks as criminals, and that the problem was worse among conservatives — were found to be in question," the New York Post said.
In July, Stewart received a letter in which Florida State University President James Clark notified him of his dismissal after 16 years at the university.
"You demonstrated extreme negligence in basic data management, resulting in an unprecedented number of articles retracted, numerous other articles now in question, with the presence of no backup of the data for the publications in question. The damage to the standing of the University and, in particular, the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice and its faculty approaches the catastrophic," Clark explained in the letter.
"Numerous erroneous and false narratives"
Clark said the decision to fire Stewart came after a panel reviewed the allegations against him. He said that it was finally proven that much of the data expressed in the studies was not real.
"Because of your actions, as you were fully responsible for the integrity of the results generated in your data analyses, decades of research that were once thought to be at the forefront of the Criminology discipline, have been shown to contain numerous erroneous and false narratives," Clark said.
Two of the studies published by Stewart and reviewed by the New York Post claimed that white people saw black citizens as a threat. He also suggested in another study that Americans wanted harsher sentences for Latinos because their community was increasing in size and becoming more economically successful.
Finally, it was learned that the professor received at least $3.5 million in grants from major organizations and entities funded by taxpayers. That information was verified by the New York Post on the official website containing Stewart's resume. However, once the information was published, the website was taken down.
Again, the demand for racism exceeds the supply
The issue is always the revolution
By any means necessary
Lies are just part of the tools
Another one.
Another distant relative of Obeyme.
Not all blacks are criminals but this individual certainly is.
Eric Stewart, professor of criminology at Florida State U is accused of falsifying data for studies in which he pushed the narrative that he knew was not true, that “racism is systemic.”
For his faked research, he pocketed at least $3.5 million or more in tax dollar grants.
Bkmk
My White Guilt Bank Account has a zero balance.
If a Florida State Professor says it, it must be true.
He was paid 3.5 million to put a credible veneer on lies that benefit the government. This is exactly the same MO as the climate frauds.
Just imagine how much more data is falsified in academia, such as climate change.

But hey - he made a lot of money off of it, and the narrative it out to be found on internet searches regardless as to its truth or falsity. Win / win for him all around.
I’m not surprised. If I remember correctly, a few years ago they did an audit of a large number of papers and found 50% of them had faked or inaccurate data and a large number of them could not be replicated using their methodology and data or if replicated produced different results.

At the source you can find the letter from the provost firing Professor Stewart. What an embarrassment for FSU, but I think they handled it well.
