Professor Cornel West dramatically resigns from Harvard after being denied tenure and says the 'shadow of Jim Crow' in the form of 'superficial diversity' persists at the Ivy League school

I’m surprised Harvard did this to a black person at this time of age

He has been savvy enough to turn endless gasbaggery and race hustling/baiting into a lucrative career.

“public intellectual.” Yeah, this guy has bounced around half a dozen different universities, always leaving in some kind of snit. Can’t seem to keep it between the lines. Conman comes to mind, one who covers his con with the victim posture and fusillade of complaints, usually race-related, when some chickens threaten to come home to roost.

He must be a real polished turd if even Harvard can’t stand him.

Honestly, I was going to ask the same question. It’s weird, right?

He only moved to Harvard not that long ago. Together with his posse. From another university.

Such a racist and communist, it’s surprising they haven’t prompted him to college president

The standards for getting tenure are usually quite high at universities, probably even at Harvard.

I'm starting to wonder if these so-called professors are just not meeting the requirements and are yelling "racism" as an excuse.

... well we may disagree with him, but if you have ever tried to read and follow any of his writings...yes a stupid uncritical thinker 90% of the time. He may have written an article that wasn’t drivel, but getting two Harvard mags haven’t seen any rational output in a decade...

ymmv

Shouldn’t that read: “The infamous public intellectual Cornel West...”

......’How sad it is to see our beloved Harvard Divinity School in such decline and decay,’.....’The disarray of a scattered curriculum, the disenchantment of talented yet deferential faculty, and the disorientation of precious students loom large.’.....

Well, that is all the result of the decades-long surrender of the school to theological liberalism, feminism, the “gay” agenda, and “wokeness”. I don’t think that Cornell West can address these basic problems—he can only make them worse!!!!

Pretty sure that West doesn’t hear the word “no” very often.

The celebrity Communist grievance hustler Cornell West is well past his sell-by date. There are plenty of people just as strident and entitled as he at Harvard already looking for tenure and these will not appreciate a relative new guy shoving to the head of the line.

It makes no sense.

He obviously wasn’t tenure track in the first place.
