White House Recognizes Mehler's Institute as National Resource
The Institute for the Study of Academic Racism (ISAR), under the direction of Barry Mehler, associate professor of Humanities, has been recognized by the White House as one of the top civil rights organizations in the country. Created in 1993, ISAR is a resource center for tracking the intellectual and ideological foundations of modern racism and academic networks of racist scholars.

Only 42 organizations have been posted on the White House web site as national resources for improving race relations. The White House commended Dr. Mehler and ISAR for "serving as a resource for people interested in monitoring the intellectual trends in academic racism, biological determinism and eugenics."
