Publisher Hussman contradicted by J-school dean on his opposition to hiring of 1619 Project creator
The Assembly, a new digital magazine in North Carolina, has more today on
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Publisher Walter Hussman’s opposition to the
University of North Carolina journalism school hiring Nikole Hannah-Jones as a distinguished professor.
Short version: He appears to have dug his hole deeper.

Hannah-Jones won the Pulitzer Prize as creator of the
1619 Project on four centuries of slavery in the U.S. It was presented as commentary and it has spawned a furious counter-attack from conservatives because, well, it makes white people look bad. Political opposition to her, several have reported, led to the UNC Board of Trustees not granting her tenure, as customarily done for distinguished professors.

As we reported here two weeks ago, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the founder of the CRT-based “1619 Project” at the New York Times, was offered a faculty position at the University of North Carolina School of Journalism, but she was not offered tenure even though the faculty selection committee had recommended that a tenured position be offered to her.
It was widely reported at the time that the Board of Trustees for the school had decided to not offer a tenured position due to the fact that Hannah-Jones had come from a position as a reporter and not as an academic, and because she had no classroom teaching experience. Those justifications were viewed as pretextual, as all prior nominees to the prestigious Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism had received offers of tenure at the time of their appointment.
