Black professor lies about race and incarceration

Looks like we found out how reliable these Liberal professors are and why the young people are not learning anything in college from their batshit crazy professors..


Florida State University professor leaves $190K job after accusations of faking data on racism

Eric Stewart, a criminology professor at Florida State University, left his position suddenly amid a multi-year investigation into his alleged academic fraud.

Stewart had six research studies retracted throughout the investigation after it was alleged that he misrepresented data to exaggerate how prevalent racism is in American society.

In one paper, Stewart, who made $190,000 per year at Florida State, falsely claimed there was a correlation between a criminal's race and the public's desire to see harsher prison sentences for said criminal. However, an investigation revealed there was no correlation and that the sample size had been increased to yield Stewart's desired outcome.

In his 2019 complaint, Pickett said that their findings showed no relationship between the growth of minority groups and the severity of criminal sentences handed to them.

Despite the result, the paper was published with “altered” data to claim there was a correlation, with Pickett noting that many of the changes appeared to have been tacked on just before publication.

The biggest change Pickett pointed out was their sample size growing to 1,184 respondents even though they only had 500, and that the study’s conclusion came from handpicking the data from 91 counties instead of the full list of 326.

Students going to university to learn about race are wasting their time anyway.

Whatever.

As the article mentions, this type of academic fraud is very difficult to uncover, and it's even more difficult to get the liars out of their hiding places. No doubt, this type of fraud is widespread among leftist academia. Good to see at least one conman is out of a job.

Very few actually do that. More commonly, it's forced on them by lefty hustlers like this clown in classes on other subjects.

They must really have Professor Stewart dead to fucking rights on this.

I would expect a lib to stand their ground and stick to their story, no matter how stupid ass.

I really don't think it matters.

He got kicked out of Florida State. I doubt he would have been kicked out of the more Liberal NE universities.

Yep, as leftoids stroke one another so as not to rock the massive gravy train that higher education has become. It is a grifter's delight.

Oh but we are supposed to fall all over ourselves kowtowing to some ass-bag dem leftist quoting a "study", no matter what it is.....In my estimation they are all bogus, just the people that pay for them getting exactly what they want to hear.

Fuck that noise.....I'll go with my common sense.

Renowned criminology professor who ‘proved’ systemic racism fired for faking data, studies retracted

Renowned criminology professor who ‘proved’ systemic racism fired for faking data, studies retracted

“The damage to the standing of the University and, in particular, the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice and its faculty approaches the catastrophic and may be unalterable.”

September 11, 2023

A renowned criminology professor who “proved” that racism is systemic in America’s law enforcement and American society has been fired for faking data and his studies have now been retracted.

Eric Stewart, 51, a now former criminology professor at Florida State University in Tallahassee, is now out of work due to “extreme negligence” in his research. According to Google Scholar, Stewart and his work were cited over 8,500 times by other researchers.

Now, the WEB DuBois fellow at the National Institute of Justice is out of a job on account of “extreme negligence and incompetence.”

Retraction Watch obtained the termination letter from the university, which said that due to Stewart’s conduct “decades of research” previously thought “to be at the forefront” of the field of criminology has “been shown to contain numerous erroneous and false narratives.”
