Roxane Gay, the renowned cultural critic and author, will join Rutgers University in the Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in media, culture and feminist studies. The chair is a collaboration among the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, the Institute for Women’s Leadership, and the Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies within the School of Arts and Sciences. The appointment was announced at the university’s Board of Governors meeting Tuesday.

Gay’s chair, a three-year appointment, was first held by climate justice advocate Naomi Klein. Gay will be paid $250,000 a year, the university spokeswoman said.

The endowed chair made headlines in 2017 when media mogul Harvey Weinstein, who donated $100,000 to the $3 million endowment campaign, came under fire for sexual harassment and assault. Rutgers“We think devoting these funds to advance women’s equality is a better use of the dollars than returning the donation to Harvey Weinstein and the H. Weinstein Family Foundation,” Rutgers spokeswoman Dory Devlin said at the time.
