Cornel West, considered one of the most prominent Black philosophers and progressive activists in the country, announced Monday that he has resigned from his position at Harvard University s Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., saying the institution is in a state of decline and decay and spiritual rot.
In a resignation letter dated June 30 and posted to Twitter, West suggested that discrimination at the university drove him to leave the Divinity School. The 68-year-old scholar said in March that he was abandoning his quest for tenure at Harvard to return to the Union Theological Seminary in New York, where he first taught more than four decades earlier.

Cornel West, one of the nation s foremost Black scholars and an outspoken progressive activist, has announced his resignation from Harvard University, accusing the school of intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of deep depths.
West, who earlier this year said he was giving up his drive for tenure at Harvard Divinity School to rejoin the faculty at Union Theological Seminary, posted what he called my candid letter of resignation to Twitter late Monday.
In it, he writes that the disarray of a scattered curriculum, the disenchantment of talented yet deferential faculty, and the disorientation of precious students loom large at Harvard.
