kind of ironic that cornel west releases his resignation letter and meanwhile we get some new account calling him a nobody. at least use your main account to say such things.
anyway - addressing your comment itself. doesn't he now have tenure at UTS? Wasn't he also tenured previously at Princeton and Yale? hardly a nobody lmao
- keel1o 5y agoHe didn't hold tenure at any prestigious university he held professorship. There's a lot of nobodies who get associate at these institutions especially in the fields of philosophy and social science. UTS is an absolute nobody school. It's like graduating from ASU - no one will ever take you seriously. He's just an old bigot going home to roost.
- endisneigh 5y agoidk why I'm even wasting my time responding to obviously wrong things - just go look it up, he's been tenured before. he was actually offered tenure in 1993 but left because he disagreed with Larry Summers, then president of Harvard, at the time.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoYep. Sigh. Haters gonna... Sigh. He's done a lot of good as a civically-involved public intellectual and debater than most academics do writing research papers few people read to "move the needle" towards where many things need to go. I sometimes say about sales and influence: You can build a viable fusion reactor, but if no one knows about it, it may as well not even exist.
