The might have crucified Summers but they led him rise to be president at Harvard in the first place and didn't seem to successfully taught him not to say things like that.

Cornell West has professor for religion and then professor for African-American Studies. As far as my instincts go I wouldn't expect the same thing from Harvard department of psychology than I would expect from the department of African-American Studies.

And then you said the NSF was evidence against SJ association, which is either wrong or weak evidence since they fund related research all the time.

I didn't. I took your post as saying that I should update in the direction of him being part of the social justice movement based on his funding source and wanted to reject updating based on that information in that direction.
