What is at stake with Nikole Hannah-Jones being denied tenure Siva Vaidhyanathan © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Tenure at American universities is not given. It’s earned. Those of us fortunate enough to have had a shot at earning it understand all too well the effort it takes to earn tenure, the costs of failing, and privilege it conveys. It’s very difficult to fire us for researching, teaching, and professing heterodox ideas. We tenured professors have something only federal judges share with us – the confidence to speak and write our minds, knowing that society has granted us the security to do so because we have worked so hard to earn it. We are guaranteed due process if the powerful try to dispose of us. That’s what makes American research universities so great. It’s why free, open, bold minds thrive in them.
