This prompted Ewart Guinier, the department’s first chair, to argue that then-Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Henry Rosovsky was trying to weaken the department by refusing tenure to Isaac and by insisting that only joint appointees (that is, professors who were not solely tied to the Afro-American Studies department) receive tenure...

"The same judges are not supposed to try the same case twice, but in this case they tried the case three times," he says. Xu says there were many other errors. According to documents lodged by the Chengde People's Procurate, the government alleged four men flagged down a taxi at the Chengde railway station on the night of the murder. After one asked the driver to stop so that he could relieve himself, all four attacked him with knives...
