Harvard Won't Give Cornel West Tenure

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

I tried to get him to speak at my chiropractic school and that nikka refused to come down on his price and things he demanded to speak, I’m all for getting it how you live, but every school doesn’t have that capital allotted towards a black organization, I’m sure he’s a good guy and has his detractors, but that whole ordeal turned me away

Cornel may be a Democratic Socialist, but his wallet believes in free-market capitalism.

Can’t help but think it’s because he supports ADOS. Some Harvard people released a smear article a month ago on ADOS and I think those blue checks got Harvard to deny him tenure. When he said it’s political it’s probably why. Smh.

99% likely he got was denied because of this

ados and anything similar like it, gets under alot of people's skin(rightfully so as it should)

He was offered a 10 year contract and a pay raise.

Not the same thing as tenure, especially with how limiting higher-ed contracts are

I've seen it in the past as well, and its incredibly unfortunate.

Something that discomfort at PWI really does spur a genuine revolutionary spirit.

you're forced to face the 'devil' in the face so it will either make you, break you, or you submit.

I love HBCUs (at least the state ones) give chances to people who didn't do well in high school due to environmental factors, but there was alot of stuff I observed that troubled me when it comes to this 'elite' stuff.

But it clearly goes against the narrative that he's being punished for his social and political views.

It's probably more in line with his previous in house disputes that caused him to leave the first time and write a piece on it.

Don’t be selfish

the man is busy

put it in context


If you were him you probably wouldn’t fukk with your own organization as it’s a small one

not true, i always try to look out for the little homies coming to through the program when i go back, i get your point, and as i stated, can’t be mad, he gotta get his paper, but then don’t expect me to pour out sympathy for him now that Harvard don’t want to let him live his best life

it’s not, but he could literally go to any other school and get it, it’s principle and he don’t want to bounce

Hmmm...we don't see any HBCUs on his resumé. I wonder why?

Harvard is worth billions compared to hundreds of million at Howard. Dude trying to get that bag, and the HBCU'S don't really have the $ to sign him(Harvard teachers make $200k compared to $120k at Howard).

No, it doesn't, consider tenure as protection for your social and political views.

What's tenure mean? I never was much of an academic

Fine.

But don't try to tell me that in your quest to destroy white supremacy, you chose Harvard over Howard because of the money.

You get a set time of employment where they can only fire you due to like extreme cause or some shyt. You basically guaranteed a job for however long.

I woulda took the 10 years & those racks tho since clearly he about that bag. If he aint, then make ya way on down to Howard, take that 100K shave where you still getting 6 figures and talk that talk where it will be more appreciated.
