> Her hourly rate is closer to $400/hr. The Berkeley guy said it was $5k/hr because he just took the total pay and divided by hours spent on one thing. But she spent hours on some other things too that he didn't included in the denominator.
Her official hourly rate is 5,000 USD an hour. She claims she does ~10 hours of preparation for that single hour so she's really only charging ~400 USD an hour. You can believe her or not, up to you. The claim that she's charging 5,000 USD an hour is not incorrect and is there in her contract.
> He originally tweeted her address and other harassing things, which is against Twitter's rules. That tweet was reported and taken down.
He did not tweet out her address. The person he retweeted had a separate tweet where they shared her address, and that was deleted by that person.
The rest of your bullet points are based off of her clarification letter. The email Nelson shared very much includes a threat of police and lawyers.
Now perhaps that is a misleadingly drafted document, or the full agreement provided a variety of free services as well, but on its face, it seems reasonable to assume she is charging $5k per hour since that is how she is phrasing it in contracts she is signing.

"The Oxnard district training or others like it don’t include only the time in front of teachers or at the district, but also about 18 hours of preparation, Boaler said, which isn’t specified in the contract. The deal also means significant travel time."
It's not uncommon for consulting to work that way where you pay $X for a report and a couple hours of presentation but theres a bunch of behind the scenes work you're implicitly paying for too.
So her effective rate was probably a little over $1k/hr. Doesn't seem that unreasonable for a Stanford prof.
If you believe that (e.g. if you think the sessions are heavily customized for each school district, and not just the same thing at each place), then you'd divide the 5k by 11+1, getting $417/hour.
How hard did you actually look? It wasn’t him.
Article: “The person who put out the initial tweet — a high school teacher in San Francisco — had shared Boaler’s home address in a separate post, but later deleted it and apologized. Nelson said he did not post her home address on his Twitter account”
Now you are just lying. He tweeted the page of the PDF that showed her payment $40,000 for 4 2-hour sessions.
Someone else tweeted the next page of the PDF, where she puts her address for the check. Page 377 of https://t.co/w0RapmD5bG
This is untrue.
- Her hourly rate is closer to $400/hr. The Berkeley guy said it was $5k/hr because he just took the total pay and divided by hours spent on one thing. But she spent hours on some other things too that he didn't included in the denominator.
- He originally tweeted her address and other harassing things, which is against Twitter's rules. That tweet was reported and taken down.
- Stanford has threat prevention staff that alerted her to his tweets and also alerted the authorities, as is apparently their policy when people are tweeting harassing stuff about their faculty. She never personally reported him to the police. I wouldn't fault her if she did though.
- It's clearly not racially motivated.
- Despite all that, she tweeted an apology to appease the mob.
- Finally, I don't like either of them. He is a harassing doofus who is trying to make her seem racist. She is trying to dumb down math for California students in the name of equity. He's worse but I don't really like her either.
