The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) board of trustees has voted to grant tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones of the America-hating “1619 Project.”
Hannah-Jones won both the MacArthur Fellowship, which is called a “Genius Grant,” and a Pulitzer Prize for the work she did on the demonstrably false, far-left 1619 Project sponsored by The New York Times Magazine .
The 1619 Project is a major initiative of critical race theory which argues America was not founded in 1776, but rather in 1619, when the first African slaves arrived in the British colonies.
In Wednesday’s vote of 9-4, following a closed session, the UNC board gave Hannah-Jones tenure. Back in April, Hannah-Jones was appointed Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism for UNC’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media. According to Hannah-Jones’s legal team, she had been “repeatedly told that the position would come with a full tenured professorship.” Hannah-Jones was not initially offered tenure, however, but rather a “five-year fixed term with eligibility for tenure review at the end.”
The tenure application for Hannah-Jones was put on hold earlier this year, as a trustee said more time was wanted to consider the journalist’s qualifications. Hannah-Jones’s legal team said “she would not begin working until receiving the promised career-long appointment.”
While several hundred UNC faculty and students protested the fact that Hannah-Jones had not been offered tenure on Friday, Walter E. Hussman Jr., the newspaper publisher after whom the school of journalism is named, and a major donor, expressed concern about Hannah-Jones in a December email addressed, among others, to the school’s dean. “I worry about the controversy of tying the UNC journalism school to the 1619 project.”
After Hannah-Jones was granted tenure, however, Hussman texted The Associated Press to say he planned to continue supporting the UNC journalism school’s “advocating for the core values,” stating, “The University has now voted to grant tenure to Ms. Nikole Hannah-Jones. I look forward to meeting her and discussing journalism.”

Board Vice Chair Gene Davis said that Hannah-Jones’s reception of tenure was “an important step in creating an even better university.” Davis added:

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
