According to a new report, the University of North Carolina, which had planned to offer tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the harshly-criticized 1619 Project, has instead chosen to offer her a five-year term as a professor starting July 1, with the option of being reviewed for tenure.
UNC-Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media had made the offer of tenure to Hannah-Jones, according to NCPolicyWatch. The school offered the position of Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism. After the decision not to offer a tenured position, Susan King, dean of UNC Hussman, complained, “It’s disappointing, it’s not what we wanted and I am afraid it will have a chilling effect.”
