The famous public intellectual Cornel West has dramatically quit his job at Harvard University following a tenure dispute, accusing the esteemed school of 'spiritual rot' and 'superficial diversity.'
In a resignation letter he shared publicly on Monday night, 68-year-old West slammed Harvard's administration and revealed a litany of personal and professional complaints.
'How sad it is to see our beloved Harvard Divinity School in such decline and decay,' he wrote in the letter. 'The disarray of a scattered curriculum, the disenchantment of talented yet deferential faculty, and the disorientation of precious students loom large.'

How does he not already have tenure?

All Ivy League “Divinity Schools” are merely woke adjuncts of their government departments.

It says a lot about the condition of the Divinity School that he would be teaching there.

Ok. So they're treating him like any other adjunct professor and he is upset because they don't recognize his Black Privilege.
How lame.
To: Cecily
He doesn't deserve tenure even in a secondary school, let alone a university. He can go work for Dementia Joe.
To: Cecily
West is one of the biggest frauds I’ve ever seen. His assertion of his Christian faith is not convincing.

Yet, everything was fine and dandy with no complaints until they denied him tenure. So now it is time to pull the “racism” excuse. Maybe he’s just a douche and they never liked him and the employees not reason he had a job was because he was black.

I figure he's because he went after Barack Obama. From a New Republic article:
"He has accused Obama of political minstrelsy, calling him a 'Rockefeller Republican in blackface'; taunted him as a 'brown-faced Clinton'; and derided him as a 'neoliberal opportunist.'”
