A Florida State University (FSU) professor has reportedly left his $190,000-a-year position at the school after being accused of fabricating data to make racism against black and Hispanic Americans seem more common than it actually is.
A Florida State University professor has reportedly left his $190,000-a-year position at the school after being accused of fabricating data to make racism against black and Hispanic Americans seem more common than it actually is.
Stewart is accused of falsely claiming the study revealed there was a correlation between a criminal’s race and the public’s desire for harsher prison sentences. He argued that as black and Hispanic populations grew, so did the public’s want for more discriminatory sentences. Pickett said that their sample size had somehow increased from 500 to over 1,000 respondents, the counties polled had decreased from 326 to 91, and the data was altered to the point of mathematical impossibility. Thus, he accused Stewart of doctoring the sample size so that the study yielded his desired outcome.
