Jesus wept. WTF is wrong with the guy? What a ballbag.

A controversy has broken out in Massachusetts over the fact that Harvard Law School has claimed professor and current senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren as a minority member of the faculty based on apparent (but as yet unconfirmed) Native American ancestry. The Brown camp seems to think this is big news [update: the campaign has called on her to apologize for allowing Harvard to claim her as a “minority”; this, as we’ll see, doesn’t make any sense, because at the time Warren was claiming herself as a minority, and Harvard was only following her lead], Warren responds that she’s unaware that Harvard claimed her as a minority professor, but that she’s proud of her Indian ancestry. Her colleague Charles Fried, who was chair of the appointments committee when she was hired, claims that Warren’s Native American ancestry never came up in the hiring process, and that he only became aware of it later.

My contribution to this controversy is that there seems to be some disingenuousness going on. Warren says that she could not “recall” ever listing her Native American background when applying for college or a job.

The old AALS Directory of Faculty guides are online (through academic libraries) at Hein Online. The directories starting listing minority faculty in an appendix in 1986. There’s Elizabeth Warren, listed as a professor at Texas. I spot-checked three additional directories from when she was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, including 1995-96, the year Harvard offered her a position. Elizabeth Warren, Elizabeth Warren, Elizabeth Warren.

So, we know one thing with almost 100% certainty: Elizabeth Warren identified herself as a minority law professor. We know something else with 90%+ certainty: (at least some) folks at Harvard were almost certainly aware that she identified as a minority law professor, though they may not have known which ethnic group she claimed to be belong to, and it may not have played any role in her hiring.

But it gets even more interesting: once Warren joined the Harvard faculty, she dropped off the list of minority law faculty. Now that’s passing strange.

Still, Trump screwed it up, as is his wont. It's supposed to be "Fauxcahontas" not Pocahontas. Even so, bait is bait, and it seems to be working.

I know about that.

Doesn't make it any less appalling.

Just curious, what do you think of Warren?

Ah yes the old he is baiting her defence.

So what? Everyone knows about this. Everyone knows she maybe lying about her heritage not that's its fact check able hence the whole issue to begin with.

It's exactly why Trump started calling her Pocahontas. Be she actually descended from natives or not its still wrong of him to use that word to call her anything. But sure stick with he right narrative that its only fun or bait (as the kids say nowadays) and not at all disparaging or borderline racist, right?

One of the problems with this day and age everything is written of as a wind up or bait. Ridiculous really.

Either way he needs to grow up and get a grip he is the president.

I think she represents where lots of Democrats would like to see the party go. If she can pull off running for the top job with the narrative of a continuation of Obama's legacy along with the historic mark of being the first woman POTUS, she'll do as well as anyone else could, and she'll make a great contrast to whoever she runs against, Trump or otherwise. Her policies are not my policies. I don't think she wants that job, though. Trump is playing on the right's view of her as an open and dishonest opportunist, and that's working for both of them right now. The fact that she's hated by the right works as well for her and her base as the left's open hatred of him works for Trump and his base.
