Top university posts held by academics responsible for papers such as ‘Oppression: The Fundamental Injustice of Social Institutions’ and ‘Race lighting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Education'”
Universities that selected presidents with academic track records that consist largely of political screeds about oppression are now melting down because of students who say they’re oppressed, a review of academic papers shows.
At UCLA, Provost Darnell Hunt donned a mask and sat on the ground with protesters, who told him that police are on the side of “Zionists,” and that police are going to commit “brutality” against them. After he said he had “to go,” they screamed “shame” at him.
MUST WATCH FOOTAGE: This is UCLA's Provost, Darnell Hunt, trying to negotiate with the UCLA Encampment Activists.
They effectively lecture him and when he tries to briefly clarify something, they get mad at him, so he decides to leave. The Encampment Occupiers laugh at this… pic.twitter.com/fKJRcXHykQ

Hunt made his career opining on police brutality and racism in the aftermath of riots triggered by purported brutality against Rodney King, writing a book called “Screening the Los Angeles ‘Riots’: Race, Seeing, and Resistance.” The titles of his academic papers, below, give an idea of his area of expertise:
- Reclaiming UCLA (lamenting that “a county that is 9.8% African American — now has a lower percentage of black freshman than either crosstown rival USC or UC Berkeley”)
- Channeling Blackness: Studies on Television and Race in America
- Birth of a Nation’hood: Gaze, Script, and Spectacle in the O.J. Simpson Case
And at Sacramento State, President Luke Wood went back on a threat to remove an anti-Israel encampment, instead allowing them to remain “indefinitely.” Wood has made his career writing about student activism and the oppression of blacks, authoring the book “The Sources of American Student Activism” and papers such as:
- Political Consciousness and Student Activism
- Race lighting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Education
- Treat Them Like Human Beings: Black Children’s Experiences With Racial Microaggressions in Early Childhood Education During COVID-19
- I Love My Hair: The Weaponizing of Black Girls Hair by Educators in Early Childhood Education
- Black Men in Higher Education
The review suggests that the unrest on college campuses is not the result of a small subversive faction, but rather one in line with the ideology of those at the highest ranks of the institutions…
