The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has released hundreds of pages of emails in connection with the controversy of its attempt to bring in 1619 Project writer Nikole Hannah-Jones as a tenured professor. Other emails show a debate about granting a tenured position to someone who had no experience teaching and whose name was linked to the 1619 Project. NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES DECLINES UNC TENURE, ACCUSES COLLEGE OF RACISM: ‘JUST NOT SOMETHING I WANT ANYMORE’He wrote that the tenure request left his committee with "a lot of questions and feedback." Lamar Richards, the student body president and also a trustee, later appealed to Guskiewicz, Blouin and board chair Richard Stevens to grant Hannah-Jones tenure. For her contributions to the 1619 Project, Hannah-Jones won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary last year.
