Prominent professor accused of falsifying racism data leaves university

Prominent Florida State University criminology Professor Eric Stewart left his job after allegedly faking results in at least six studies about American crime to make racism seem worse than it is.

“Professor Stewart’s 16-year FSU career appears to have ended, signaled by his abrupt March 2023 absence,” The Florida Standard reported. “His sudden, unexplained replacement may indicate the looming end of the investigation, with enough evidence of fraud discovered to justify termination.”

The College Fix reached out to Stewart via his university email and office number with questions about his position on the accusations and whether he is leaving FSU permanently. Stewart did not respond.
