Adorno received a Frankfurt chair without any competing offer, leaving him privileged yet stigmatized

Evidence

Adorno’s happiness was therefore not unqualified when he was appointed full professor on 1 July 1957, with a chair in philosophy and sociology. He had never had an offer of a chair from any other university, which would have strengthened his position at Frankfurt. Nor did he ever receive such an offer later on. Once again, Adorno suffered the old Jewish experience of being simultaneously privileged and nevertheless stigmatized and vulnerable. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 492
