Basically:
" But, yeah, Andy King has a point that when universities, journals, and other institutions support the bad behavior, that’s not good. That doesn’t help at all. In all seriousness, you gotta feel a little sorry for Harvard Business School: they’ve had so many of these scandals now. It’s not like Duke and MIT business schools, which just had one scandal each–actually it was the same scandal for the two of them."
I’ve no knowledge of this publication, this King character and so on. But personally, I don’t have a very high regard of higher learning centres nor especially good experiences. And that was some time ago. It takes a lot to criticise institutions, and it’s worth doing for the better of the world. But you definitely pay a price and therefore my advise -which nobody asked for- would be to honestly ask yourself whether this is the hill you choose to die on. And take it from there.

So is all of Economics and US-style MBA education.
I know it hurts for some people to admit, but Economics is a belief system, a religion without a god. It is not a hard science concerned primarily with pursuing the truth but rather a social exercise of maintaining and supporting narratives that benefit the ruling class.
There are people who push back from within Economics and do actual science but they will never be empowered enough to challenge status quo beliefs held by the broader Economics/business community.
As far as I am concerned, shut down Harvard Business School, it has hardly done anything but hurt the world by trying to convince us it has answered difficult, meaningful scientific questions with junk work resting on hollow foundations.
