Suspecting Plot to Oust Chancellor, Chapel Hill Faculty Gears Up for (Another) Fight
Kevin Guskiewicz, chancellor of the U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Fresh off a contentious battle to force a tenure vote for Nikole Hannah-Jones, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faculty members are fending off a possible effort to oust the campus’s chancellor.
At an emergency meeting of the Faculty Council on Wednesday, Mimi V. Chapman, chair of the faculty, laid out what she described as multi-sourced evidence of a push to remove Kevin M. Guskiewicz from the flagship’s top post. Chapman said she had been contacted by an unnamed source “who was alarmed about a meeting they had been a part of in which names were being solicited for an interim chancellor.”

At a hotel bar off of Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, Nikole Hannah-Jones ordered a shot of bourbon.
The drink had been suggested in a phone call from Susan King, dean of the journalism school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where Hannah-Jones, moments earlier, had been granted tenure by a split vote of the Board of Trustees.
This moment, on June 30, marked the culmination of a monthslong journey that had, once again, placed Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, at the very center of the nation’s polarizing reckoning over race. Hannah-Jones, who is Black, had agreed in February to take an untenured position as Chapel Hill’s Knight chair in race and investigative journalism. This diverted from precedent at Chapel Hill, where all three previous Knight chairs, all of them white, had been tenured.
