UNC Rescinds Tenure Offer to 1619 Project Author Nikole Hannah-Jones

New York Times writer and author of the divisive “1619 Project” Nikole Hannah-Jones has lost her tenure offer at the University of North Carolina Hussman School of Journalism and Media following backlash over her “unfactual and biased” work.

The University of North Carolina is backing down from offering Hannah-Jones a tenured position at its journalism school, and will instead offer her a fixed five-year contract, according to a report by NC Policy Watch.
