Dr. Cornel West is an intellectual giant, one of a select group of academics who have recognition outside their field; he has published a wide range of books and has frequently appeared as a talking head on TV, and he is known for his fiery progressive politics and criticism of race in the U.S. He was also just denied consideration for tenure by Harvard University, and is leaving the university over the dispute. He will be moving to Union Theological Seminary, where he has previously taught; he will be entering his new position with tenure.
