Peterson and Mejia did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Another person, listed as an IPA from AFPI, Michael Corey, is also listed among the group at the bureau. AFPI does not list Corey as a staff member on its website, but an AFPI email with Corey\u2019s name does appear to exist. AFPI did not confirm whether Corey was currently associated with the think tank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Danah Boyd, a professor at Cornell University who studies the census, says that there are vehicles like the American Association for the Advancement of Science through which agencies like the Census Bureau might bring in multiple IPAs. But AFPI, Boyd says, \u201cis not an institution that is set up to bring all the scientists in the world together or that has built this long-standing infrastructure of doing independent statistical research. This is a partisan group with an agenda,\u201d she claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">All of the AFPI members are listed under the same project, focused on \u201cad hoc data analyses\u201d to answer questions from senior leaders at Census and the Department of Commerce, according to documentation viewed by WIRED. The project appears to be led by Michael Lachanski, the bureau\u2019s recently appointed deputy director for data, policy, and science, and a former fellow at the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank that also has connections to the Trump administration. Lachanski is a political appointee.
