Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones spoke with CBS This Morning to announce that she has declined a tenured professorship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The journalist said she will instead serve as the inaugural Knight Chair in Race and Reporting at Howard University.
UNC offered a position as the Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism with a five-year contract. Hannah-Jones would have been the first Black person to hold the position and the only person to be appointed without tenure.
"This was a position that since the 1980's came with tenure," the Pulitzer Prize winner told CBS This Morning. "Every other chair before me who also happened to be white received that position with tenure. I went through the tenure process and I received the unanimous approval of the faculty to be granted tenure. To be denied it and to only have that vote occur on the last possible day, at the last possible moment, after threat of legal action, after weeks of protest, after it became a national scandal, it's just not something that I want anymore."
Award-winning author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates will also be joining the faculty at Howard University. Coates will become the Sterling Brown Chair in English and Humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences.
