A longtime professor and one-time interim dean of the University of Chicago Law  School told The Daily Caller that Barack Obama was never offered tenure, despite the assertions of a New York Times reporter who covers the president and the first family.


“Other faculty members dreamed of tenured positions; [Obama] turned them down,” wrote Times White  House Correspondent Jodi Kantor, author of “ The Obamas ,” in a July 30, 2008 profile of the president’s twelve years as a lecturer at the  University of Chicago Law School.


And yet, according to longtime University of Chicago law  professor Richard Epstein, Obama was never actually offered a tenured faculty position.


“I have no idea where Jodi got her story” about the tenure offer, said Epstein, adding that he immediately wrote Kantor to tell her she was wrong.


“Tenure offers require votes from faculties approved by the provost, and need a scholarly output. He was approached with the possibility of an entry level position without tenure, but it never got to the faculty for want of interest on his side,” Epstein confirmed via email.


Epstein was the law school’s interim dean during 2001. His account contradicts a claim Kantor has repeatedly made, that a tenure offer came from Dean Daniel Fischel.


“Mr. Obama turned the offer down,”  Kantor wrote in 2008. She  expanded on that claim later that day, writing for a Times blog. “When the law school tried to hire Mr. Obama after his failed 2000 congressional race, it was for a tenured job.” Kantor wrote. “In our interview, I asked [Fischel] if he meant ‘tenure-track,’ and he said no.”
