Another high profile person, with national name recognition, turned down an offer of a professorship with tenure at UNC.
Dinky Grizzle, the first black Bozo the Clown in Ashville, turned down the offer from UNC. Dinky said that the offer would be a step down from his practice of journalism at the Ashville News Networks.
Additionally, Dinky stated that he already represents the UNC Board of Trustees and Governors and UNC as a whole in his role as UNC's mascot.
Dinky said that his extended family, which included blacks, Hispanics and Asians, urged him to accept the position but he could not discard his professional ethics, morals and honesty.
Dinky? First black Bozo the Clown? I’d think twice about hiring anyone with that kind of a name and background. He might make a good dog catcher or janitor.
Dinky was offered a tenured and exalted professorship in the clown studies department.
OP, are you sure this thread is satire?
