The author of the NYT's 1619 Project loses an offer for a tenured position at UNC because the 1619 Project is unhistorical bull$#@!. Instead they are giving her a 5 year contract.

1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones loses UNC tenure offer amid backlash over her un-factual and biased work

The University of North Carolina has rescinded its offer of a tenured journalism professor position to the author of the New York Times '1619 Project' after an intense backlash.

Instead, UNC officials confirmed this week that Nikole Hannah-Jones, who won the Pulitzer Prize for the 2019 series which 'reframed' American history to focus on when the first Africans arrived to Virginia as slaves, will join its faculty this summer with a five-year contract.


That means one of the New York Times's most vaunted reporters who the newspaper has doggedly stood by even as the project has come under withering criticism by historians for its inaccuracies didn't qualify for a permanent appointment.


The university's Hussman School of Journalism and Media had announced late last month that Hannah-Jones had been tapped for its Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism, a tenured professorship.


The news was swiftly condemned by conservative political groups with links to the UNC Board of Governors which oversees the state university's 16-campus system, according to NC Policy Watch.


Among the loudest critics was the The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, which argued that Hannah-Jones is unqualified for the position because her 1619 Project was 'unfactual and biased'.

She's a historical nincompoop, soooo, we'll just give her a 5 year contract instead of tenure. Lib logic 101. I'm betting they'll renew that contract in perpetuity.

Yes, at the end of the 5 years if her detractors don't speak up, UNC will probably give her tenure.

But if she keeps writing crap like the 1619 project, maybe not.

Pulitzer winner Nikole Hannah-Jones, the founder of the historically inaccurate "1619 Project," will not be offered tenure at UNC-Chapel Hill, NC Policy Watch reported. "Instead, she will start July 1 for a fixed five-year term as Professor of the Practice, with the option of being reviewed for tenure at the end of that time period," the report from Joe Killian and Kyle Ingram reads.


The New York Times' 1619 Project has been in the news quite a bit lately, especially for its controversial nature at the federal and local level. Therefore, it's a bit puzzling that the decision would confuse some to the extent that it has:


Fixed-term positions, like the one now being offered to Hannah-Jones, do not need board approval."

If you were an actual journalist you would care about facts, or the lack thereof in the 1619 project, which historians and other journalists have debunked. But you're not an actual journalist.

The 1619 Project is the work of a race hustler. It’s disinformation. It’s historically inaccurate. It’s fiction. Like most of your ridiculous “reporting.”

The "hard truth" is that the 1619 Project is a fraud.

@sullydish




What more indeed? Woke organizations bestow awards on neoracists. Even when the work is propaganda. But she’s keeping her appointment anyway. Just not immediate tenure for life. Save your tears for those actually fired, demoted or destroyed for dissenting from Wokeness......snip~

The problem is that academia is full of anti-history race baiters.

She's not a scholar, she's a propagandist.

She's not a scholar, she's a propagandist.

All those that have debunked her should make it a point to destroy her career. They need to come to the realization. That she cannot be allowed to keep her fraud ongoing. Those supporting her need to be taken to task.
