A HuffPost exposé connected a visiting scholar at UT Austin to posts made under a pseudonym. It’s not the center’s first brush with controversy. Richard Hanania, a Ph.D. and J.D. who’s been associated with the University of Texas at Austin, previously used a pseudonym to make racist statements online, according to a Huffington Post investigation that used a data breach to connect him to a former alias. Hanania has written in response to that report, criticizing it but also saying, “My posts and blog comments in my early twenties encouraged racism, misogyny, misanthropy, trolling and overall bad faith.”
Richard Hanania is a rising "scholar" and journalist hot on the libertarian right. He has a popular Substack, a podcast, and a handful of academic affiliations, including as a visiting professor at the University of Texas at Austin's Salem Center and as a fellow with the Koch-funded Defense Priorities, which argues for American military retrenchment.
