The Howard University Institute for Advanced Study is thrilled to announce that we’re now accepting applications for our inaugural cohort of Howard Fellows for the 2027–2028 academic year.

An investigation by @huadvstudy.bsky.social found that 15 U.S. media outlets that published 30 articles on Jason Arday in the 12 days before his death published zero articles on O’Reilly in more than eight years. 30-0, when allegations against O’Reilly were far more serious.

William O’Reilly, a White Cambridge professor, was found guilty of plagiarizing his student, accused again of plagiarism, accused of sexual assault, and accused of using his power to get one of his students cleared of a sexual assault allegation.

For several months, we've been methodically building the new Institute for Advanced Study at Howard University. We convene experts and students from across disciplines and fields to produce greater knowledge and public understanding of racism.
