After weeks of controversy over the University of North Carolina's initial decision not to offer her tenure, investigative journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones said Tuesday she declined the tenured position and will instead join Howard University.
"It's not my job to heal the University of North Carolina," Hannah-Jones said in an interview with "CBS This Morning." "That's the job of the people in power who created this situation in the first place."
Last week, UNC Chapel Hill trustees voted to offer her tenure, reversing a decision that had drawn campus protests, criticism and accusations of racism.
She called the choice to decline UNC's offer "a very difficult decision, not a decision I wanted to make."
"To be denied (tenure) and to only have that vote occur on the last possible day, after threat of legal action, after weeks of protest, after it became a national scandal, it's just not something I want anymore," she said Tuesday on CBS.
