A thread on how orgs give away their principles:

The Booker prizes say they "do not discriminate on any grounds...Literature is open, plural and questioning."

People demanded they get rid of @Baroness_Nichol for wrongthink
Instead of standing up for their principles they abolished the honorary position she held.

Not daring to examine the specific accusations against her (in case anyone might have to admit that they too think sex is real and is important)

No, just abolish the position.

Simple.
CGDev "strive for excellence & intellectual rigour", evidence, independence from funders and willingness to challenge powerful institutions.

After I tweeted about public policy on sex & gender I lost my job there

and they didn't want me as an alumna on their website either
CGD used to carry profiles of all their alumni on their website - people to look up to like @ricardo_hausman @owenbarder, @davidroodman & Lant Pritchett "carrying CGD's ethos into the world"

They took them all down

Simple.
