Duke faculty are calling the University to step up after Nikole Hannah-Jones was not approved for tenure at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Several other journalism faculty across the country, including Bill Adair, Knight professor of the practice of journalism and public policy, signed a statement of protest to the UNC Board of Trustees. The University is proud to host a Knight Chair at our leading Hussman School of Journalism and Media and looks forward to welcoming Nikole Hannah-Jones to campus,” UNC spokesperson Joanne Peters Denny wrote in an email to The Chronicle.
