An academic at the University of Cambridge is suing his college after being sacked for arguing that under a meritocracy, the number of black professors at Harvard would drop to almost zero.
Nathan Cofnas, a philosophy researcher at Emmanuel College, has brought a legal challenge against the college’s decision to cut ties with him after his views were deemed to be “a rejection of diversity, equality, and inclusion” (DEI) that was incompatible with the college’s “core values and mission”.
