The head of the racist, far-left ‘1619 Project,’ Nikole Hannah-Jones has now been awarded tenure at the University of North Carolina after initially being turned down after a sustained pressure campaign was launched against the University.
As The Hill reports:
In April, the University of North Carolina announced Nikole Hannah-Jones would join her alma mater as the Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism, calling her “one of the country’s leading voices in journalism” and “at the top of her field.” Despite the university’s stated commitment to long-term diversity, the board of trustees chose not to grant Hannah-Jones tenure, which previous appointees to the position were granted.
The reversal received immediate pushback, including from the university’s own faculty, who demanded an explanation as well as tenure for Hannah-Jones. In an open letter, faculty called the decision “a concerning departure from UNC’s traditional process” and “especially disheartening,” because it occurred despite their support.
“Why has the tenure case of Nikole Hannah-Jones galvanized so many of us to stand together? I believe it is because we are committed to the idea that this first public university was created to foster a society that would stand for values and progress. That the university was intended to prepare our state for new centuries and new challenges,” wrote Susan King, the dean of the UNC School of Media and Journalism, in an op-ed for the Daily Tar Heel.
After Hannah-Jones sent a letter to state lawmakers requesting the preservation of evidence, suggesting a potential lawsuit against the university, the Board of Trustees held an emergency meeting. Some supporters, including young Black students, gathered outside the closed door session, but were “forcefully removed” by university police, according to one student. While the closed session was standard practice for personnel matters, Hannah-Jones and others noted that this had not been communicated with the public.
About 2 hours ago now, with @TaliajahV @jc_1303 @unc_bsm in support of @nhannahjones We were standing peacefully, when 4 officers forcefully removed us. Pushing, shoving and slapping. We protect us. pic.twitter.com/uUGq9IdtDc

Did Jones deserve tenure or did she use far-left intimidation tactics to force hapless college administrators to submit to her demands? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
She should be charged with EXTORTION , and I’ll bet she said, make me a BIG SHOT or I’ll make you wish you did, I will cause BIG TROUBLE, and they got weak kneed and fell for it, that is EXTORTION,
She needs to be put on the first plane back to Africa. And everyone who supports her needs to go there as well.
no please not Africa, we have enough corruption and evil people to deal with here, send her to Jericho or Timbuctoo
The school was intimidated by terrorists. Terrorism is NOT solely the province of bomb makers.
I dont think any of them should get tenure, in fact I believe it’s time to either shut all colleges and universities down and start from scratch, or fire all current personnel and hire teachers that will teach the facts of our country, both good and bad. This indoctrination must stop, we are a free country and a great country, and our children should be proud of our nation. Anything less, is playing into the hands of our enemies. In other words its treason.
I agree with Redwolf, it’s people like her and this critical race theory that angers people and is dividing our country. People should get jobs including tenure on qualifications and merrit. A lot of them think they are owed things which is disgusting .
Tenure should be ended across academia. It solely serves to benefit worthless, do-nothing professors and those there to indoctrinate an opinion. Nobody has tenure in the private sector.
NO, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TENURE!!! WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO STOP BOWING DOWN TO THE black supremacists??? ENOUGH ALREADY!!! SHE USED THE biden/harris COMMUNIST REGIME WAY TO GET TENURE!!! THAT’S NOT THE WAY AT ALL!!! blm, antifa, ARE NOTHING BUT RACIST VICIOUS THUGS, AND I SAY TO HELL WITH THEM ALL!!! TIME HAS COME TO STAND UP & FIGHT BACK, PHYSICALLY IF NEED BE!!! I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND I LOVE AMERICA AND AMERICANS, WE HAVE TO TOSS THIS WRETCHED COMMUNIST REGIME OUT OF AMERICA, AND NOW!!!
Shes black enough said them cry babies
A traitor that looks like BOZO the Clown…now I’ve seen it all. Deliver the treasonous hag to the firing squad!
A traitor that looks like bozo the globalist puppet . . . . .
Get these evil people out of any form of Influence, education, Government, local States etc. Our children and Grandchildren need Gods truth. Teach them the Bible
It is not peaceful when you try to bully and force yourself into a closed hearing forcing officers to protect the closed hearing. Any do they always act like they have done nothing wrong when stopped from doing something now allowed? The true racists are attacking the officers.
**not allowed
UNC is another school not worth sending kids or money to. These institutions of LOWER EDUCATION should be put out of business. How stupidity has taken over education.
All I can say is watch you back with this Marxist she will try and destroy this university! Do not trust her!
She deserves to be eliminated from the UNC teaching staff. She’s earned nothing that deserved tenure. Alumni donations should drop considerably.
It sounds very peculiar that a teacher would be refused tenure unless there was a very good reason for doing so! I don’t know this teacher, so cannot offer any suggestions but as a former teacher myself, I would appreciate knowing what this was about and why this happened!
A good reason to avoid even contemplating seeking admission to UNC. If nothing else this proves the cowardly, spinelessness of the senior staff of the school. This piece of garbage even out extorted Jackson and Sharpton.
Send every racist black person back to Africa where they belong!!!
I think the administrators caved in because they wanted to, to join her club of lies. She wrote a fiction book and sold it to schools because it helped BLM and it’s Marxists founders and made her stolen money she didn’t work for. The thing they should have given her credit for was committing fraud, real fraud on this country and the children who can’t fight back to her vicious lies. The administrators and other commies don’t know the word NO only yes to their lies.
Dear Susan King,
You’re and idiot and I love your statement “I believe it is because we are committed to the idea that this first public university was created to foster a society that would stand for values and progress.” That values and progress thing you mention does not include lies like Critical Race Theory (your to stupid to eve know what a therory is), and that big lie of “1619” But hey you must be getting something out of this like money, or is it you are really just thois stupid? If I was one of your students I’d have so much fun showing what an idiot you are along with many of these so called professors today.
Hey susan, with your “white prividlege” did you give all your posessions to the blacks because your white and have no talent, you obviously got to your posititon somehow? Was that because your white, or maybe you were using that sex thing. o that could be it as I have seen pics of you…just sayin but then who knows right?
Will the newest Knight Chair at the University of North Carolina be paid handsomely like Elizabeth Warren was for teaching only one class at Harvard University? Why do people with dubious professional credentials and no intellectual heft get paid six- or seven-figure salaries for teaching what they don’t even grasp themselves? Who wants to pay the gynormous cost of college tuition to learn nothing of value at all?
