Another AAAA magic negro goes down:  no PhD - no matter how brilliant - gets tenure at a place like Harvard at age 30.

Assuming a normal career track of PhD "earned" at 26 - followed by a 1-2 yr postdoc, by the time you setup a 'research lab', establish a record of publications, and graduate a handful of grad students - you're talking age 35 at the earliest before you would be considered stable enough for an Assistant Professorship.

Assuming he was doing everything "by the book," where did he have time for the ass-grabbing?

"Background: Fryer was the youngest African American to receive tenure at Harvard at age 30. In 2008, he founded the Education Innovation Laboratory, or EdLabs, a research group focusing on closing the achievement gap for minority and poor students.

"He was awarded a MacArthur 'genius' grant in 2011 and then in 2015 was given the John Bates Clark Medal, which is granted to an "American economist under the age of 40 who is judged to have made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge."
