[00:00.04]For years, Black students and faculty members
[00:03.48]at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, known as UNC,
[00:08.92]have expressed frustration at the way they are treated.
[00:13.48]Among other problems, they have said
[00:16.04]they deal with increased attention from school police.
[00:20.92]And they have noted that the university has
[00:23.76]too few Black students and teachers.
[00:27.36]Last month, several hundred students at UNC protested
[00:32.16]what they saw as another example of the school's failure
[00:36.04]to support students and teachers of color.
[00:40.00]The protests started after university leaders first decided
[00:45.44]not to vote on offering tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones,
[00:50.04]a Black American journalist.
[00:53.04]Tenure gives a lifetime position to a professor.
[00:57.92]Those involved in the decision not to vote on tenure for Hannah-Jones
[01:03.24]said they were concerned about her ability to teach.
[01:08.24]The university had also gotten emails
[01:11.00]from newspaper publisher Walter Hussman, Jr.,
[01:14.84]for whom the university's journalism school is named.
[01:18.96]Hussman is a major donor to the school.
[01:23.36]In his emails, he raised questions
[01:26.80]about Hannah-Jones' prize-winning work
[01:30.00]for The New York Times, called The 1619 Project.
[01:35.44]Released in 2019, The 1619 Project
[01:39.72]aims to tell a story of American history
[01:43.88]with slavery at the center of the country's founding.
[01:48.60]Some American states have banned schools
[01:52.40]from using The 1619 Project materials in classrooms.
[01:58.08]Black students, Black professors and other professionals
[02:03.16]criticized UNC's decision not to vote on tenure for Hannah-Jones.
[02:09.96]They questioned the university's support
[02:12.72]for free speech and diversity.
[02:16.76]Following protests and widespread criticism,
[02:20.72]the university voted late last month
[02:23.76]to offer a tenured position to Hannah-Jones.
[02:28.56]But she turned down the offer.
[02:31.76]Instead, she accepted a tenured position
[02:36.16]at Howard University in Washington, D.C.
[02:40.48]The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
[02:43.56]is the oldest public university in the United States,
[02:48.60]and first began admitting students in 1795.
[02:54.64]It is considered one of the country's top public universities.
[03:00.60]Black students and teachers at UNC say
[03:04.16]that, without meaningful self-examination and change,
[03:08.08]the school may be unable to attract students
[03:11.12]and faculty of color in the future.
[03:14.76]Jaci Field is a leader of the Carolina Black Caucus, a faculty group.
[03:21.44]She said, "Right now, the relationship
[03:24.04]between the University of North Carolina and its Black students,
[03:28.48]faculty and staff is broken."
[03:32.12]UNC's Black student and faculty groups
[03:35.72]presented a list of demands to the school at a news conference last week.
[03:41.84]In a statement Wednesday, UNC Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz
[03:46.96]said that he has looked over the proposed list of changes
[03:52.16]sought by the Black Student Movement.
[03:55.40]He is asking university leaders to develop a plan
[03:59.20]to answer those and other concerns.
[04:02.84]But Black faculty and students say
[04:06.28]promises without action will not be enough.
[04:11.16]The Carolina Black Caucus group earlier said
[04:14.88]that a growing number of its members are thinking about
[04:18.48]leaving the university because of recent events.
[04:22.80]The events at UNC gained have gained attention across the country.
[04:28.28]Irene Mulvey is president of the American Association of University Professors.
[04:35.92]She said the events could hurt UNC's ability
[04:39.92]to recruit and keep top researchers.
[04:44.04]She said, "I think it's going to be a very long
[04:47.64]and difficult process to recover,
[04:50.20]if they can even recover from this.
[04:53.92]This is a black eye on the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill."
[04:59.24]Hannah-Jones was asked if she thought her decision
[05:02.92]to reject the tenure offer would hurt UNC's ability
[05:07.12]to find and keep Black students and faculty.
[05:11.72]She answered the fault would lie
[05:14.56]with the university if that does happen.
[05:17.92]"I didn't create this situation," she said.
[05:21.40]"So if they're that concerned, they'll do something different."

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
