    Jeet Heer Retweeted Andrew Sullivan

    The principle that faculty, not trustees, should decide is in fact a bedrock of academic freedom. It's one of the principles that tenure was built to protect. This is not a minor matter, unless you are a hypocrite only wants free speech for your own side.https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1395122922407268357 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Andrew Sullivan @sullydish
    I agree. The faculty should decide. But this is not a huge scandal or a cancellation it seems to me. https://twitter.com/Rationalist69/status/1395120087686909961 …

        Remember when Andrew Sullivan upbraided Nikole Hannah-Jones for not disproving that black men have giant penises? Not surprisingly, he is now dismissive of her free speech rights.pic.twitter.com/kcxIjbciZw

        it would only be an outrage for Andrew Sullivan if they had decided not to give tenure to an outstanding race-IQ-caliper specialist

        @sullydish Let me get this straight. You object to Univ Trustees over-riding a Univ Pres and Dean on a tenure recommendation but the final outcome is meh?An over-qualified AA Pulitzer,Peabody,MacArthur Awardee denied tenure bc of her race is OK?You need to get your shit together.

        If they gave her tenure they'd probably have to give tenure to most any Pulitzer winning Macarthur fellow whose candidacy the faculty approved of and who was willing to teach in one of the two best Journalism departments in North Carolina, and where would that end?

        UNC Chapel Hill is a first rate University with a faculty who would not seek to offer tenure to an unworthy candidate. For the Trustees to act in this way is immensely damaging to the school's reputation. Academic excellence is hard to build and so easy to ruin.
