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.”
