Scientist cited in push to oust Harvard’s Claudine Gay has links to eugenicists

In 2018 the Anti-Defamation League pointed toUnz Review's "increasingly racist and anti-Semitic content", in a year in which Unz himself "denied the Holocaust, endorsed the claim that Jews consume the blood of non-Jews … claimed that Jews control the media, hate non-Jews, and worship Satan". 

The other co-author, Curtis S Dunkel, is a psychologist who was affiliated with Western Illinois University (WIU) on the paper but is billed as an independent researcher on recent publications and on the ResearchGate website. The Guardian contacted WIU for clarification. A spokesperson said: "Curtis Dunkel is no longer an employee at WIU", adding: "I cannot comment on the reason for his departure." 

Dunkel, along with Kirkegaard and Woodley, spoke at the London Conference on Intelligence (LCI) in 2016, according to leaked conference schedules. Dunkel's paper was entitled Sex Differences in Brain Size Do Translate into Difference in General Intelligence, and the abstract suggests that Dunkel claimed that women were less intelligent than men by an equivalent of 4 IQ points on average.
