...not going so great:
Amid mass layoffs, BU Center for Antiracist Research accused of mismanagement of funds, disorganization
Boston University hired Ibram X. Kendi to lead its new Center for Antiracist Research in 2020, a year marked by a global pandemic and nationwide racial tension.
Three years later, after at least $43 million in grants and gifts and what sources say has been an underwhelming output of research, the Center for Antiracist Research laid off almost all of its staff last week.
Multiple former staff members allege that a mismanagement of funds, high turnover rate and general disorganization have plagued the Center since its inception.

If that $43M had been divided in half and placed into two foundations, one for grants for promising K-12 minority schools in the city and the other for either college or vocational scholarships, what would have been the impact on minorities in Boston?
