No Comment: Williams College STFU on No Whites Allowed Tech Symposium



Our good friends at The College Fix have been following up on the most recent example of anti-white bias at Williams College in MA. As you may know, the college has scheduled a science and technology symposium that focused on “new” voices in the field, while completely excluding white scholars. Amazingly, the call for papers specifies that it wants papers from members of underrepresented groups which it defines as either “African Americans, Alaska Natives, Arab Americans, Asian Americans, Latinx, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders.”

Williams Liberty has complained about this discrimination against whites elsewhere. Even Ephblog got into the fight wryly asking how it is that Arab Americans are now considered among the underrepresented?

According to The College Fix, the people responsible for this event are ducking questions from the press. The College Fix notes that Williams College Associate Professor of Political Science and Chair of Science and Technology Studies Laura Ephraim is the point of contact for the no whites need apply event. They say that for "...the last three weeks she has ignored repeated phone calls and emails from The College Fix seeking comment on the event."

Likewise, the media affairs office and several faculty members in the Science and Technology Studies program have also ignored "...repeated requests for comment."

Last year, Williams College was the scene of a highly publicized, vicious, bigoted tirade against young white men on campus. I think the college's failure to address reasonable questions about the fairness of excluding white (and I assume Jewish) presenters at a tech conference is evidence of how the school's culture of open antagonism against whites is alive and well this fall. The text of the call for papers is available below the break.

Hello again, Dr. Drew.
Was there any response from Williams College? Their racially exclusionary tactics against whites (yes, including Jews) violates various Title IX laws, I would think.
