#NathanCofnas, the academic whose fellowship ended at Cambridge and was suspended from Ghent University for his racist white supremacist views was academically very circumspect long before he launched an anti-DEI witch hunt on #JasonArday.

This in depth article examines the extreme concern expressed about him by his colleagues at Ghent some months ago.

Cofnas intended to ‘flood the academic zone’…keep his colleagues busy fighting racist shit

EXCLUSIVE: "shoddy" Cofnas was unfit for his Uni job say colleagues - months before Arday attack

Uni academics said in leaked emails that even Cofnas's presence detracts from their work, because they had to counter the 'flood of shit'

#Cofnas not only sought to waste the time of his fellow academics, by making them have to refute his racist bile, he sought to remove them the university altogether as evidenced in his blog, in an article called “How to Take Back Academia,” he stated three-part plan:

(1) Promote knowledge of the cause of race differences
(2) Change the population of decision makers on campus
(3) Leverage political power

See details in attached image for the extent of his hatred for fellow unracist colleagues.

Having just looked into the circumstances of how #NathanCofnas ended his #LeverhulmeTrust Early CareerFellowship at #EmmanuelCollege, #Cambridge…I can only conclude they issued a press release (attached) in February 2024 stating they were investigating and then let the clock run down hoping no one would notice, because this is the last mention of him on their website.

Was this out of shame or fear of being sued?

Academic institutions and funding bodies must defend against these fascists.
