https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/stanford-draws-a-line-with-atlas-trump-advisers-views-are-inconsistent-with-universityStanford University officials on Monday distanced the elite institution from Dr. Scott Atlas, saying that his views on handling the coronavirus pandemic were inconsistent with those of the university and its conservative-leaning think tank after Atlas appeared to promote an uprising against measures to combat the spread of coronavirus as cases reach record-highs.
Dr. Atlas has expressed views that are inconsistent with the universitys approach in response to the pandemic, the university wrote in a statement issued Monday evening. Dr. Atlass statements reflect his personal views, not those of the Hoover Institution or the university.
The statement comes after Atlas, a senior fellow at the elite universitys Hoover Institution a widely-respected think tank in libertarian circles that according to its website develops public policies to advance principles of individual, economic, and political freedom urged Michigan residents in a tweet over the weekend to rise up against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmers restrictions on indoor activities.
