UNC DOES Nikole hannah-jones DIRTY

Today we're discussing how Nikole Hannah-Jones got done dirty by UNC-Chapel Hill.  In a definitely political move, UNC announced the Knight Chair recipient would not get automatic tenure, as was previously routine, but would have a five-year contract that would consider tenure after that point. Given the controversy around Hannah-Jones' 1619 Project and what we learn about the conservative agenda of North Carolina's board of governors (heyyyy, Art Pope) and broader movements to influence what happens on college campuses (heyyyy, Koch brothers). This is definitely some white-people-fuckery. ​
