Teaching her class at Harvard Law School one day, professor Elizabeth Warren called on a student who was unprepared.
The student said, “I’ll pass.” Warren’s response was, “Not likely.”
That story, passed from one class to the next about Warren, exemplifies the way colleagues and former students view the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. Warren is known as a tough and demanding professor. She is also dynamic, well-prepared and treats each student as an individual, past students and colleagues say.
“She expects a lot,” said Adam Levitin, a professor at Georgetown Law School who was a student of Warren’s at Harvard between 2002 and 2005. But, he said, Warren also gives a lot.
“She prepares assiduously and takes the teaching very seriously as part of her job. No one doesn’t think they’ve gotten their money’s worth out of the class,” Levitin said.
Warren came to Harvard in 1992 as a visiting professor and was hired as the Leo Gottlieb professor of law in 1995. Warren earned a total of $430,000 from Harvard between January 2010 and December 2011, according to financial disclosure forms. She is currently on leave.
Warren’s time at Harvard has played a major role in her campaign. According to Federal Election Commission data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, Harvard employees contributed more than $100,000 to Warren’s campaign. Harvard employees gave less than $15,000 to her opponent, Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, according to an analysis by The Republican and MassLive.com.

Elizabeth Warren’s Indian name = Dances with Lies.
Then again, maybe the “Student” was just a compilation of many Students. You never know if anything a Liberal says is the truth.
[Wow, she’s a regular Rodney Dangerfield, isn’t she?]
Or a John Houseman wannabe.
