NDTV
Dr Cornel West has accused the Harvard University of disrespectful treatment and hinted at discrimination.
Harvard professor Dr Cornel West, who has quit his job at the University, has called out the “decline and decay” and the “spiritual rot” on campus. This is my candid letter of resignation to my Harvard Dean. I try to tell the unvarnished truth about the decadence in our market-driven universities! Let us bear witness against this spiritual rot! pic.twitter.com/hCLAuNSWDu You're one of the few people I respect. Thank you for your courage, wisdom, and integrity. I'm sorry it had to end this way. Thank you so much for this letter. Eye-opening, candid and eloquent. You gave far more grace to the institution than it deserved. As always, thankful for your words and graciousness. Bless you ???? Thank you for standing up for what is right, Dr. West. You will sleep better than those who moved against you. Sending you all the love and respect you deserve Professor. Please keep inspiring us all. In a “candid letter of resignation”, dated June 30, the public intellectual and professor of African-American studies said he was resigning with “precious memories but absolutely no regrets” after four years of service at the Massachusetts-based Harvard Divinity School. In March, he had announced he will be leaving Harvard because it did not give him tenure, bringing negative media attention to the Ivy League Institution. As the controversy continued, not much was revealed then about what exactly forced the popular professor's resignation. With Dr West, 67, now sharing his resignation letter on Twitter, more details have been revealed, raising doubts over Harvard's conduct.More Related News
