Jason Richwine Resigns from the Heritage Foundation

[brooklynite]

Source: Slate

The Heritage Foundation tells without much more detail. The full explanation:

Jason Richwine let us know he’s decided to resign from his position. He’s no longer employed by Heritage.
It is our long-standing policy not to discuss internal personnel matters.

Some background: I'd been asking whether Heritage read Richwine's dissertation, or talked about any of the potentially explosive IQ research, before hiring him. No answer as of yet, though his deparature means the story will fade.

Not to worry; I'm sure many talk radio gigs will be in the offing.

3. Lucky for them, not many right wingnuts have a dissertation out there, they can't ever spell it.

14. I think that many right wingnuts believe they have dissertations

after both lunch and dinner...

4. So long dickstain

Now, to get Harvard to rescind your doctorate.

[Whoopdedoo]

7. There were 5 signers giving the green light

to the dissertation. Two of them were right wing characters. I don't think it was read by them. They just signed of on it and Richwine got his Doctorate. Harvard should review the content of the writing and deem it racial and then null and void the award.
On edit: There were three not five. They are George J. Borjas (chair) Richard J. Zeckhauser and Christopher Jenks.

12. Is that a Harvard thing?

I'm accustomed to 5-member dissertation committees. I was surprised he had just 3...

[Half-Century Man]

17. I heard

I think two of them have multiple personality disorder (which explains a lot).....maybe....probably

[TacoD]

5. When will his Harvard dissertation committee resign? (nt)

[freshwest]

21. Never. Probably all tenured. They'll be rubber stamping all the repuke candidates until they retire.

[hrmjustin]

6. Won't miss him.

[bobhuntsman]

8. I'm sure it's to spend more time with his family. . .

[pampango]

9. An anti-immigration racist? That boggles the mind.

[Cha]

10. Another arrogant racist dumbshit bites the dust.

[freshwest]

11. But, but, what about the First Amendment? Rushbo will call him a victim of lib bigotry tomorrow.

18. He is free to speak his mind.

We are free to speak our minds. We are free to call it as we see it. His employers and clients are free to panic at being caught and lash out mindlessly to distance themselves from the one covered in shit.
First ammendment doesn't play into this.

20. I should have provided this, then, since the string orchestra didn't convey my meaning for you:

[Half-Century Man]

22. Oh I got it

I just thought his wounds could use a fresh coating of salt.

[Half-Century Man]

23. How do we send this thread to him?

Anyone?

[olddots]

13. he'll probably work for the NRA now

he's a real fart smeller or is that smart feller

[sakabatou]

15. I can already see him on Fox News

[timdog44]

16. When will Harvard

admit their complicity to this affair. This has gone on for four years. No mention of the fact they gave a PhD on a false claim. Maybe they would give one proving slavery a good thing? Or that Jewish people deserved to die?

[Jack Rabbit]

19. Big deal

The Heritage Foundation is no more a credible research body today without Richwine than it was yesterday with him.

[B Stieg]

24. And probably right into an endowed chair...

...as head of Liberty University's Ethnic Studies Program.
