Florida university fires professor over dubious racial bias studies, damage to school may be ‘catastrophic’

'Fox News @ Night' panelists Keisha Russell and Dr. Johnson Varkey discuss their case against St. Philip's Collegeafter an investigation concluded he"demonstrated extreme negligence" in the data management of racial bias studies that could cause"unalterable" damage to the school's reputation.

"My specific concerns are related to the details of your behavior and the extreme negligence and incompetence that you demonstrated in the performance of your duties," Clark wrote. "As outlined in the Notice of Intent to Terminate letter, you demonstrated extreme negligence in basic data management, resulting in an unprecedented number of articles retracted, numerous other articles now in question, with the presence of no backup of the data for the publications in question," he added.

However, Clark's termination letter to Stewart suggested the criminologist did not take"any meaningful steps" to remedy the situation in the four years since the issues came to light and did not attempt to re-create any of the studies.
