The Chronicle of Higher Education November 17, 2011 Cornel West Will Rejoin Faculty of Union Theological Seminary Cornel West, the prominent activist, author, and critic who is a university professor in the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University, will rejoin the faculty of Union Theological Seminary in New York next summer, the seminary announced<http://www.utsnyc.edu/news>. Mr. West, who has been at Princeton since 2002, when he left Harvard University<http://chronicle.com/article/Cornel-West-Will-Leave-Harvard/115758/> amidst a high-profile feud with Harvard’s president at the time, Lawrence H. Summers, will retain emeritus status at Princeton. He previously served on Union’s faculty from 1977 to 1984 and from 1987 to 1988. He will teach a full schedule of courses as a professor of philosophy and Christian practices, the seminary said, and will “participate in shaping a new generation of religious leaders, scholars and activists.” Mr. West, who is 58, told The New York Times<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/17/nyregion/cornel-west-returning-to-union-theological-seminary.html%20> that Union was “the institutional expression” of his “core identity as a prophetic Christian. I don’t have that much time, and I want to be able to do precisely what I’m called to do.” SANDRA M.
