Guy puts a paper on arxiv proposing a predictive model for academic success in astronomy based on metrics like citations of papers normalized by author count, etc. This is a completely quantitative paper but he was pressured into retracting it and apologizing since somehow using quantitative methods is racist (?)
>Kormendy apologized for his stance on using quantitative measures for university decision-making.
