Cornel West - “My Ridiculous Situation at Harvard”

[@DJAlkimmy]

Cornel West is a national treasure. Shame on Harvard for not treating him with the respect he deserves

[@cirilopaulo3158]

Some of the tenets of white supremacy are humiliation and disrespect. This is ultimately embarrassing for Harvard and not Dr. West.

To speak candidly. Do we really expect anything diffrent from "Harvard"? Dr. West should take his talents elsewhere where it will be respected and appreciated. Their loss, not his.

He's essentially been banned by major media & from speaking at prestigious white & HBCU's; their platforms prohibit comments like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIiWan6Fm8SZZpY I have been exposed to Dr West for over two decades & he's no where near Dr. Anderson's level.

Maybe it's due to what Cornel West stands for and says in public? Remember, the intellectual class performs the critical function of gatekeeper so that the plutocracy and power class classes are looked after. The exceptions are tolerated in order to make it appear that academia has integrity. I would take it as a compliment or a badge of honour. A little bit like Chomsky and his daughter being refused entry into Israel a few years ago (even though they were welcomed in Palestine). People in the financial sector, as well as academia understand all too well, what Summers stands for and what his record is.

The intellectual class performs the role of gatekeeper so that the rich maintain their advantages and unfair playing field. In the USA its particularly striking with about half of the country's engineers and scientists being directly employed by the military industrial complex. Academics in the political sphere and social sciences can have differing and even radical views, provided they aren't popularised by the mainstream media and dont get a firm foothold in social and alternative media etc. How many times do you see people like West or Chomsky being interviewed in the mainstream media?

[@carbar3936]

Told he signed non-tenured contract for 5 yrs. Rule is - non-tenured contract you leave at the 3, 5, 8 yrs of contract signed. However, what's weird given this rule is that they allowed him to apply for tenure??? Then denied it, but said he can continue working there? So they violated 2 rules to deny him - makes no sense. Sounds political IMHO.

[@Deescizzle]

This request for tenure is 100% political. He was previously tenured and then when he came back, now he's not tenured? Sounds like it was possibly racial when he came back and they gave him a low-level position. I doubt if that would have happened to a white lib or a 'token' black person.

[@carbar3936]

@@Deescizzle West was never tenured at Harvard, but was a very popular Professor there He was tenured at Princeton (I think) but definitely not Harvard. Why he signed a 5 yrs. non-tenured contract to return to Harvard is odd, given those contracts doesn't even allow you to try for tenure. Once it's up, you're out no matter how great your performance is or how well you're liked. Unsure why he left Princeton for Harvard given the clash w/ Summers. And odd Harvard declined him consideration even when he should've never been able to apply. I love how West's mind works, but I also see his flaws. Despite one's IQ, pettiness of which he has plenty, extremely sensitive, quick to strike out, and other flaws I see doesn't always make a good co-worker. Whatever he stands for be it political, racial, etc, he's known forever these things has a cost & he's chosen to speak out rightly/wrongly anyway. A person's mouth can be their ruin. Was it his? Don't know, but hear he's a great lecturer & it's him unfortunately moreso than students that will pay the highest cost. My wish for him is he get tenured wherever he wants. He's too valuable to young people to sit on the sidelines & given who he is, his preferred salary should be mighty high. He said he wants to stay on east coast, so that eliminates HBCU's sans 1 or 2, but can they afford him w/out him getting a huge paycut???

I would love to have been fortunate enough to have a class with Dr West. I have heard you speak, and that was an education, always is. I hope the faculty that proposed your tenure demonstrate. This must be protested. The line is being drawn everywhere, this is an opportunity. I will show up in your defense, my body will be there. Its bigger than you.

[@amosp.wellington6124]

Dr. West I'm so grateful for you and your commitment to poor people. Thank you so much for FIGHTING THIS FASCISM from the highest heights. I'm going through something Similar but on a small local level. God bless you and keep you. I know you can't cash love but we love you dear brother.

For an intellectually rigorous environment we need a diversity of robust ideas and great thinkers in academia. It's worrying to see institutions pushing out academics on these terms.

[@Devotionorange]

Dr West-this experience is a ray of light that provides direct evidence of the force for good you are. You will never be rejected by us-the people whom you offer your divine service to. Peace & Richest Blessings 🧡

People don't like those who speak the truth.

[@yurik1068]

It's because they know that professor West is not and will not sell out the people. He is not for sale, he has integrity.

Shame on Harvard U. for not to give Dr. Cornel West tenure.

[@emhu2594]

Harvard is an elite finishing school for rich psychopaths. Why does Cornell West even bother?

[@wandahwisdom5646]

All these Years he worked There we presumed Mr. West BEEN tenured! huh?

[@cabezitadealgodon]

67 is still young for professors. You deserve to work with tenure until you no longer feel the desire to work. Because you are an intellectual FREEDOM FIGHTER! Start your own university Dr. West!

[@deniseallen3379]

I Love this beautiful black brother. I just want to give him a holy beautiful spiritual hug. God will bless him from the crown of his head to the soul of his beautiful santified blessed feet. Let us all pray for our beautiful prescious brother . We Love you Dr. West. Amen.

[@naturalhealermom]

The elite rejected Christ, too. Evidence that you are in alignment, Dr. West. God is with you. Your influence will only increase. And the accolades this world can give are fleeting to begin with. Thank you for loving people; keep doing it!

We love and respect you Cornel. Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm sending all my love and support.

I thought of Norman Finkelstein's predicament when I saw this, he was treated unfairly as well.

[@vincentross8940]

Dr. West, continue to love out loud. I stand with you and Tricia.

[@julioortiz9195]

He needs to be tenured by the USA. He's a professor for the people!
