Abstract
This article is a narrative about law faculty hiring, promotion and tenure. It is part of my process of coming to terms with the promotion and tenure process that I endured through a type of scholarly catharsis; in this essay I review my continued presence in the legal academy from the safety of post-tenure academic life, but while immersed in the openly racist climate of the presidency of Donald Trump. After originally posting it in early summer, I am now posting an updated and expanded draft. I have added a modest amount of text above the line to account for the very latest developments on a number of issues that I discuss in the draft. I have also added a substantial number of footnotes to explain or further develop certain concepts, especially terms of art in Latina/o Critical Race Theory or in Critical Race theory more generally. It is forthcoming in volume 20 of the Rutgers Race and the Law Review.
