Cornel West denied tenure, leaves Harvard
Cornel West is rejoining the faculty of Union Theological Seminary, where he started his teaching career more than 40 years ago.
The move comes after West threatened to leave Harvard University, which he said denied his request to be considered for tenure, according to media reports.
West has been granted the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair at Union, named in honor of the German theologian who attended the seminary in 1930, the seminary said in a statement on March 8.
