WSN has retracted this story because it didn’t meet our editorial standards. The piece, about potential bias in the German department’s tenure process, inaccurately characterized the tenure process and the parties responsible for a tenure decision. We apologize for the error. (Disclosure: The complaints about this piece were investigated by a group of WSN alumni who are working to restructure and revive WSN after most of the staff resigned in September. The findings were presented to the student reporter and editors who worked on this story, and they made the final decision to retract the piece.)
