UNC accused of tokenizing, exploiting minorities after 1619 Project’s Hannah-Jones denied tenure
Fox News
The student body president of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill blasted the school for failing minorities and urged prospective students from those backgrounds to "look elsewhere" after officials denied tenure to investigative journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of the controversial 1619 Project.
"You cannot reform a system rooted in oppression, racism, and hatred," Richards wrote. "Tragically, the term 'reform' at this university continues to be used as a subtle tactic to oppress students, faculty, and staff-past, present, and future alike." Richards called the Hannah-Jones controversy "the most recent glaring example" of UNC failing to do what is necessary to enact change for students and faculty, and questioned whether it will serve as a wake-up call for the school.More Related News
