Nikole Hannah-Jones will not join UNC-Chapel Hill faculty after tenure controversy
New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones said she will not be teaching at UNC-Chapel Hill this fall, even after being awarded tenure by trustees last week.
Hasnain says:
As someone pointed out this is also interesting because at the end of the day it was about racism and money: one big donor who gave $25M to the school. And Hannah-Jones has already brought in $15M for the new chair at Howard and I’m sure more will come in soon.
“Hannah-Jones said she fought the battle that she wanted to fight, which is being treated equally and to have a vote on her tenure appointment.
“I won that battle. But it’s not my job to heal the University of North Carolina,” Hannah-Jones said. “That’s the job of the people in power who created this situation in the first place.””
