Some faculty of color at UNC Chapel Hill have resigned amid the UNC Board of Trustees' refusal to give tenure to acclaimed journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. But they say their departures are the result of years' worth of marginalization by university administrators.

WUNC's Liz Schlemmer spoke with two faculty members of color at UNC Chapel Hill about why they recently announced their resignations.
