The Emory Wheel: Salman Rushdie to Join Faculty
Author of Satanic Verses Accepts Professorship
By: Chris Megerian and Salvador Rizzo
Issue date: 10/6/06 Section: News
Salman Rushdie, the controversial and award-winning author of The Satanic Verses, has accepted an invitation to become a professor in Emory's English department.
A senior Emory official with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed Rushdie's acceptance. Vice President of Communications Ron Sauder would not corroborate the decision on Thursday.
The appointment of the British-Indian writer makes Rushdie arguably the second best-known professor at Emory, after former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
