(ZEROHEDGE) – After launching a media crusade that bashed UNC as 'racist' for denying her tenure along with the offer of a lucrative teaching side gig, NYT writer and '1619 Project' founder Nikole Hannah-Jones has succeeded in her quest to strong-arm her alma mater into granting her tenure even before she started her new gig as an assistant professor in the school's journalism program, the Grey Lady reported.
A few months ago, Jones accepted a position as the Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism at the university's Hussman School of Journalism and was expected to start July 1. Jones won a Pulitzer for her role in creating the project back in 2020.
However, her appointment triggered a backlash from conservatives, including a prominent donor to the school's journalism program, which produces armies of graduates who are eventually recruited into the American business press.
