RALEIGH, N.C. — Following reports last week that UNC-Chapel Hill had reached a settlement with journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones over her battle for tenure at the university last year, Hannah-Jones is now providing more details about what is included — aside from money — in the settlement.
The News & Observer confirmed the settlement Friday, speaking with university Board of Trustees Chair David Boliek, who said the settlement was for less than $75,000 and was approved by Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz.
Hannah-Jones commented on the settlement on Twitter for the first time Tuesday morning, saying that while the university had confirmed the dollar amount of the settlement, the settlement “was about much more” than money.
