Oh will do! A friend and I were messaging about it this morning (she actually did Psychology) and we were wondered if there was something more in the works!
27.07.2025 12:40 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I should say students protested, boycotted, and raised hell with Edinburgh administrators for years about the survey and about his racist views. And not much changed until 1997. Plus รงa change... 3/3๐๏ธ
27.07.2025 09:05 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0It wasn't the purview of this report, but Edinburgh might take a look at more recent faculty like Brand. Who also made his students take the "Edinburgh Sociosexual Style Survey" for over a decade (and it is exactly as gross as the title suggests). 2/3 ๐๏ธ

Glad that Edinburgh has done this, but couldn't help thinking that when I arrived in 1996 "racist scientific theories" were still being taught by Chris Brand in the psychology department, and had been for twenty-five years. 1/3 ๐๏ธ

Columbia just expelled or suspended 80 students for protesting in favor of Palestinian rights. Suspended students can only be readmitted if they "apologize"--otherwise the suspension converts to an expulsion.
