Cape Town - He was requested to remove UCT’s affiliation to a controversial study called “Intelligence and Slave Exports from Africa”.
Among others, the researchers found that “the reasoning-orientation and problem-solving inclination underlying the IQ can be leveraged to avoid capture during the slave trade” and “it is conceivable that African cognitive ability led to slave exports”. Black Academic Caucus member, Professor Adam Haupt, said the study was much like the Stellenbosch University article about “coloured women”, in that the key premise relied on “the flawed belief that race is a stable, natural scientific category and that it is not socially and politically constructed that serves very narrow economic and ideological ends”.
“The study had not been submitted to the ethics committee of the Graduate School of Business and no other members of the school were involved in the research.“UCT also notes that the academic has submitted his resignation to the GSB,” Moholola said.Moholola said the study did not go through ethical clearance which was not unusual for any research by adjunct professors as they are not full-time members of staff.
