'1619 Project' Founder Loses Tenure Offer Amid Growing Concerns of Racism in CRT
Red State ^ | 19 May 2021 | Kira Davis

The founder of the CRT-based “1619 Project” has come under fire for her controversial views and now it has affected her future job prospects.

Nikole Hannah-Jones has had an important tenure offer revoked in response to growing concerns about the nature of her work and her racially insensitive comments. The offer came from her alma mater, The University of North Carolina.

NC Policy Watch originally reported the story, saying the UNC board of trustees instead chose to consider a five-year contract for Hannah-Jones.

As Policy Watch reported last week, UNC-Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media pursued Hannah-Jones for its Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism, a tenured professorship. But following political pressure from conservatives who object to her work on “The 1619 Project” for The New York Times Magazine, the school changed its plan to offer her tenure — which amounts to a career-long appointment. Instead, she will start July 1 for a fixed five-year term as Professor of the Practice, with the option of being reviewed for tenure at the end of that time period.

They didn’t give her tenure, but they are still going to employ her to indoctrinate students.

There’s some serious gilding of the lily goi g on here. She gets a five year, undoubtedly quite lucrative, gig. Then they’ll give her tenure

UNC Chapel Hill, nice hippy place in 1973. The patchouli babes would streak at the drop of a hat. It was so frequent we used to drive from L-burg to Chapel Hill on Friday evenings to watch the festivities, join the kegger party, and hangout.

I think the problem was that she doesn’t have a doctorate in anything so she can’t be tenured.

The fact that this left-wing propagandist is employed at a university at all is appalling.
