Dorian Abbot is an associate professor of geophysical science at the University of Chicago. Dorian first made national news when he challenged the university's diversity hiring practices. (To hear that story, check out our conversation on episode 43.) In August, Dorian published a widely discussed op-ed in Newsweek titled “The Diversity Problem on Campus,” which caused MIT to cancel a lecture he was scheduled to give at a prestigious event. Dorian's been all over the media since then to talk about what’s happening to academic freedom on campuses across the country.
