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

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'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.
