The 1619 Project, has lost her alma mater’s offer for tenure and is instead under consideration for a fixed five-year contract as a professor of practice.
NC Policy Watch reported on the change Wednesday amid a wave of conservative criticism of her work.
Hannah-Jones was recruited for the Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism which, at the UNC-Chapel Hill campus, is typically a tenured position. In layman’s terms, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author would have a guaranteed position with the role. However, the former UNC student was offered by the university a non-tenured professorship after going through an extensive approval process.
Other journalists and members of the press also sounded off about the news on Twitter.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has reneged on a tenured position it offered to Pulitzer-winning journalist,
Nikole Hannah-Jones. Instead, the university is offering Hannah-Jones a fixed 5-year appointment, Policy Watch reported on Wednesday.
“It’s disappointing, it’s not what we wanted and I am afraid it will have a chilling effect,” said
Susan King, dean of the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media. After undergoing the tenure process in 2020, Hannah-Jones’ application went awry when the university’s board of trustees which usually approves tenure applications, decided not to take action, according to Policy Watch.
