Elizabeth Warren revealed for the first time late Wednesday night that she identified herself as Native American to Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania when she taught at both schools.
"At some point after I was hired by them, I... provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard," Warren said in a statement to the Boston Globe, the newspaper reported. "My Native American heritage is part of who I am, I'm proud of it and I have been open about it."
Warren, who is a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, had previously admitted to listing herself as a minority in a legal directory in the '80s and '90s, due to a Cherokee heritage that her family claims. But Warren had not previously acknowledged ever identifying herself as a Native American to the two universities at which she was hired to teach.
Warren's admission on Wednesday was prompted by the Globe, which had obtained federal statistics that indicated the university listed a Native American female professor for the "1992-93 school year, the first year Warren worked at Harvard, as a visiting professor," the newspaper reported...

Brown has questioned whether Warren may have benefited from affirmative action and has asked for Warren to release all university personnel records, which would presumably show how she identified herself during the hiring process....

Then conclusively prove it b!tch. Family folklore is just that 'lore'....IOW, probably a damned lie! You admit you used dubious credentials to obtain benefit, now prove it or S....T....F.....U !!!!!!!!!!!!
What gripes me the most is that this Ward Churchillesque liberal nut is teaching at all. She claims to be proud of her Native American heritage. Really, does she mean the oart where her ancestors were part of the enforced march known as the Trail of Tears? Is that what she means? No she means that frigginigly stupi “Pow Wow Chow” book that has plagerized recipes and nothing Chrokee about it. She just thinks it’s cool to be ‘identified’. We she truly proud of her heritage maybe she would live on the rez or be doing something meaningful to improve conditions for those forced to use the Indian Health ‘Services”. I guess if yo are a big enough fraud the left loves you more
I don’t know what’s really worse, the fact that she fabricated her “heritage” or the fact that having such a heritage (1/32 Cherokee????) qualifies you for special consideration in hiring at top law schools.
My husband really IS part Indian/Native Amer and never thought to even put it down because he isn’t full blooded.

Affirmative Action: like Mexico, the gift that keeps on giving.
As an amateur genealogist I sometimes find myself in discussions with people who are not genealogists but always seem to have some family lore story to tell.
One guy I met many years ago told me somebody had done the research and discovered that he was a direct descendant of King Arthur.
I facepalmed.

Give a man a fish, and you feed his family for a day.
Tach a man to fish, and he will sit out on the lake drinking beer all day and tell lies...
Since all of the human race is descended from Grandma EVE we are all AFRICAN AMERICAN, ITALIAN, ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, EGYPTIAN ETC.
I was born at Columbus Hospital in Newark New Jersey so I guess I also qualify as a NATIVE AMERICAN! Although I learned early on that I was a part of the
Mother

Father's
Italian
Association!
