The Boston University Center for Antiracist Research, led by Ibram X. Kendi, is set to shut down on June 30 after Kendi's departure to Howard University. The center, established in 2020, focused on antiracist research and produced The Emancipator, a digital magazine that will continue at Howard. Despite its goals, the center faced scrutiny due to financial mismanagement and layoffs. Boston University expressed gratitude towards Kendi and the staff, ensuring support for their transition as they conclude their roles by the charter's expiration.
Kendi stated that removing staff members was the hardest decision of his career, reflecting the challenges faced by the center amid financial difficulties.
Boston University's Center for Antiracist Research is closing in June as Ibram X. Kendi departs for Howard University, ending a three-year tenure.
The Emancipator, a digital publication launched by the center, will continue at Howard University despite the impending closure of the Boston center.
Boston University thanked Kendi and the center's staff for their contributions, expressing a commitment to support their transition to new opportunities.
