Free speech victory as academic reinstated after being stripped of title over 'controversial' critical race theory research
A 78 year old scholar has had his emeritus professorship reinstated at Plymouth Marjon University following intervention by academic freedom campaigners, in what supporters are celebrating as a triumph for free speech in British higher education. Dr David Harris was stripped of the honorary title, which he has held for over a decade following 37 years of service at the institution, last September after publishing research critical of critical race theory.
