The Chronicle News Blog: A New Fact on the Ground: Nadia Abu El-Haj Wins Tenure at Barnard College
Barnard College just announced that Nadia Abu El-Haj, an anthropologist whose tenure bid has been the subject of withering online debate for weeks, has been promoted to the rank of associate professor.

A Barnard statement released this afternoon says that Ms. Abu El-Haj has passed a “highly rigorous review” to receive tenure at the college. “The process will be procedurally complete after the decision has been presented to the boards of trustees at both Barnard and Columbia,” the statement says, “but it is expected that Professor Abu El-Haj will earn the rank of associate professor.”
