Brown Corporation elects three new fellows, seven trustees
Brown’s governing body elected each new member based on their commitment to the University and its mission of education and research.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] During its annual spring meeting in May, the Corporation of Brown University elected three new members to its Board of Fellows and seven new members to its Board of Trustees. Each was invited to serve on Brown’s governing body based on their commitment to the University and its mission of education and research.
John C. Atwater, a 1983 Brown graduate and a trustee since 2015, Pamela R. Reeves, a 1987 Brown graduate and a trustee since 2016, and Nancy G. Zimmerman, a 1985 Brown graduate and trustee since 2019 and from 2010 to 2016, were elected to the Board of Fellows. Members of the Board of Fellows customarily serve 11-year terms.

As we reported here two weeks ago, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the founder of the CRT-based “1619 Project” at the New York Times, was offered a faculty position at the University of North Carolina School of Journalism, but she was not offered tenure even though the faculty selection committee had recommended that a tenured position be offered to her.
It was widely reported at the time that the Board of Trustees for the school had decided to not offer a tenured position due to the fact that Hannah-Jones had come from a position as a reporter and not as an academic, and because she had no classroom teaching experience. Those justifications were viewed as pretextual, as all prior nominees to the prestigious Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism had received offers of tenure at the time of their appointment.

Lexington-Richland School District Five is no longer dropping its mask mandate.
Members of the Board of Trustees voted earlier this week to do away with the policy that has required students to wear face coverings since August of 2020. Two days after that vote, their attorney advised against making masks optional starting Monday.
The issue now remains on hold until the next meeting.
