2016

In an April 18, 2016 op-ed in The Baltimore Sun, Haverford College alumnus and former United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Stephen H. Sachs writes of Reid as a professor:

"Ira Reid's sociology course was by far the most stimulating of the year. Part provocative lecturer, part maestro of the Socratic method, he introduced us to the irreconcilable worlds of heredity and environment. He confronted us with the iconic works of the anthropologist Margaret Mead, and he challenged us to write an essay on the subject of 'blood will tell.'"
