{{unreliable sources|date=October 2018}}{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2017}}{{Use British English|date=April 2017}}Frank Ellis is an author and former lecturer in Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of Leeds who was suspended for alleged racism.[1]

Career

Before entering academia, Ellis served in the Parachute Regiment and the Special Air Service.[2] Prior to his appointment at Leeds University he taught at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.[2]

Macpherson Report

In 2000, Ellis came in for criticism after making plans to attend a conference hosted by American Renaissance, where he would deliver a speech attacking the findings of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry.[1] Ellis had written for white supremacist magazine American Renaissance before the conference, and continued writing for it after. He subsequently published, in early 2001, his book The Macpherson Report - Anti-Racist Hysteria and the Sovietisation of Britain, with a Preface by Professor Antony Flew.[3]

Leeds University

In February/March 2006, a contributor to the university newspaper Leeds Student, Matt Kennard, interviewed Dr. Ellis during which the academic expressed his support for The Bell Curve theory developed by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray that there are racial differences in average intelligence. Ellis's comments were widely condemned, particularly in the light of his endorsement of the British National Party.[4][5] A campaign was launched by Hanif Leylabi, President of the Unite Against Fascism organisation, which called upon the university to sack Ellis. The story received coverage in The Observer, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, Times Higher Education and various other national newspapers and radio stations as well as national and local television services. A statement was released by Leeds University Union calling for his dismissal. Leeds University condemned Ellis' views as "abhorrent".[4]

Ellis was subsequently suspended by the Vice-Chancellor, Michael Arthur, pending disciplinary proceedings.[4] The University issued a media release stating that it was investigating an alleged breach of its diversity policy. It also said Ellis's views were wholly at odds with the University's values, he had jeopardised the university's obligations under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, and that he had not apologised for his remarks.[6] Ellis took early retirement in June 2006, pre-empting the outcome of the disciplinary action.[7]

Publications on Russia

In 1994, Ellis' book Vasily Grossman: The Genesis and Evolution of a Russian Heretic was published.[8] From Glasnost to the Internet: Russia's New Infosphere (Palgrave MacMillan) followed in 1998.[9].

The University of Kansas issued The Stalingrad Cauldron: Inside the Encirclement and Destruction of the 6th Army in 2013.[10]

Other activities

Ellis addressed the Enoch Powell Centenary Dinner[11] of the far-right Traditional Britain Group in 2012[12] on the subject of "Liberal Totalitarianism".[13]
