A weeks-long audit into the finances of Boston University (BU) professor Ibram X. Kendi’s multi-million-dollar “antiracist” think tank has identified “no issues” with that aspect, the university said on Tuesday.

The audit came after the Center for Antiracist Research (CAR) in late September let go more than a third of its employees in what it called a transition from its current “research-based approach” to “a fellowship model,” prompting questions and complaints surrounding the center’s academic output, fund management, and workplace culture.
