Southern Methodist University pulls online cultural survey
DALLAS—A Southern Methodist University survey that asks questions such as "Why are black people so loud?" and "Do black people hate America?" has been taken down following complaints.
The online survey distributed by the university's Cultural Intelligence Initiative was taken down Thursday after the link was shared on Twitter, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Maria Dixon Hall, who leads the initiative, said the survey was removed to ensure data wouldn't be skewed by responses not affiliated with the university. She said it's intended as an internal conversation about questions students want to ask about races, cultures, religions and ideologies.
The survey launched in November 2017, and Dixon Hall said no complaints had been filed until this week.
