Kendi, director of Boston University's Center for Antiracist Research, stands for a portrait in Boston. Boston University said Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023 that its initial inquiry into the antiracist research center run by Kendi found no issues with how it managed its finances.
The university hired Kendi in 2020 to found the center and join the faculty as a history professor after his 2019 memoir, “How to Be an Antiracist,” catapulted him to national prominence, which was only heightened after the The center has raised more than $50 million, with $30 million of that put into an endowment, the university said. It promised to create a number of projects and research initiatives, some of which it has, like the publication, “,” which will continue, as well as a database tracking information related to COVID-19 and race, though that stopped being updated in March 2021.
The university's inquiry will continue, now focusing on the center's management of grants from outside funders, including the extent to which it complied with required reporting. The university has also hired the consulting firm Korn Ferry to review the center's culture and management, which is ongoing.
When asked about the criticisms of his former colleagues, Kendi said if he could do it over again, he would have started with a fellowship model and the new structure. He added that many people have advised and supported him over the past three years, “as we were trying to build a new organization from scratch during a pandemic era while responding to the urgency of the moment.”
If he had been advising Kendi back in 2020 when the center opened, Lewis said, he would have told him, “Be strategic about the first three hires that you make. Make sure that you have somebody who is really steeped in that university’s administrative and financial culture," and to layout very specifically what projects the center would tackle in its first three years.
