Even before this information came out, the New Era petition portrayed Eastman as a symbol of everything that's wrong with the Benson Center. After contending that the center"promotes white supremacy culture," it argued that"the annual appointment of visiting scholars who frequently champion harmful language and actions...has debased the standards of this institution.
But CU spokesperson Andrew Sorensen pushed back on this conclusion.
As for Eastman, Sorensen noted that"Chancellor [Phil] DiStefano made his views clear on January 7, 2021," when he wrote that"Professor Eastman’s conduct does not reflect the values of our university. He has embarrassed our institution. CU Boulder is committed to the free exchange of ideas and the pursuit of knowledge, and Professor Eastman has contributed nothing of value to support the ideals of either the Benson Center or CU Boulder.
Nonetheless, Eastman and CU Boulder are inextricably linked — and each time Eastman's name is mentioned during the January 6 committee hearings, Colorado's flagship university takes a hit.
