It wouldn’t be the first time a university blows it by snubbing a stellar academic. David Garrow,
a Duke political science Ph.D and a Pulitzer Prize winner, was denied
tenure at UNC-CH years ago because it was said he wrote history, not
political science. The harrumphing by the powers that be at UNC always
sounded to me a bit like envy. Well, UNC’s loss was Emory’s gain.
