Elizabeth Warren - Faux Cherokee

This whole episode has been very entertaining. Highlighting the Diversity Zeitgeist travesty that the Left has pushed upon us.

Why not check off a box, if you get promotions and hiring preferences for doing so? Oh you are Leftwinger and supposed to be supporting Diversity Promotion, not gaming the system so that diversity is being thwarted and real minorities arent being given preferences that they so richly deserve!

LOL!

Now Elizabeth Warren's credentials are being questioned, and it clearly shows that she is a lessor qualified academic/professor who got promoted on the basis of minority status filling diversity quotas. Yes Virginia, minorities are likely to be less qualified, because of Affrimative Action.

Thanks for the own goal Elizabeth Warren, you woman of low moral standards. Pathetic Afirmative Action hire. Just think of all those students who were cheated out of a better education, so that you could eroneously fill Diversity check boxes for the Universities you worked at. Quality of life reduction for all (except for Elizabeth Warren), multiple this over society in every field and endeavor.

What? Who? When?

Another incoherent propaganda rant of a post from you which is devoid of facts or evidence.

Elizabeth Warren went native at Penn, too [bostonherald.com]

This whole thing is hilarious.

Money line from this report...

Quote : Warren has said her Cherokee lineage is a matter of family lore. The only evidence of Native American heritage to emerge is an electronic transcript of her great-great-grandfather’s 1894 marriage application that states his mother was Cherokee. A genealogist told the Herald that woman’s husband, Warren’s great-great-great-grandfather, belonged to a Tennessee militia unit that rounded up Cherokees for the forced marches of the “Trail of Tears” in which thousands died in the 1830s.

What a hoot!

What the heck is your point, that is if you have one?

She's done. No recovering from this one.

If this is news worthy then bristol palins opinion on gay marriage is even more news worthy (she says kids should have moms and dads. lawl. unless youre bristol palin, then the child is going to effectively grow up without a father)

Bristol Palin isn't running in what was a tight race for a US Senate seat. In particular, Ted Kennedy's seat where she was sent in to take it back from Brown.

Not a real issue. From Fox news no less:

Quote : The University of Pennsylvania document was one of three similar ones made public Thursday.The second shows Warren identified herself as "white" on a University of Texas employment record, and the other indicates she declined to apply to Rutgers Law School under minority status. Warren worked at the University of Texas from 1983 to 1987, before taking a job at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The University of Pennsylvania document -- a report published in 2005, 10 year after Warren left to teach at Harvard Law school – indicates she was a minority faculty member and had won a teaching award. The report stated only eight of the 112 awards give out during a 13-year span had gone to minority teachers. Warren's campaign said the records from Rutgers and Texas bolster her argument that she was able to land a job at Harvard Law School in 1995 based on hard work and achievement, not claims of Native American heritage. "At every law school where Elizabeth was recruited to teach, it has been made absolutely clear she was hired based on merit; on her accomplishments and ability," Warren spokeswoman Alethea Harney said in a statement Thursday. Harvard Law School professor Charles Fried has said any suggestion that Warren enjoyed an affirmative-action advantage in her hiring as a full professor is "false" and that Warren was recruited because of her expertise in bankruptcy and commercial law.

It must be...I saw that story all over the place.

Posting up and highlighting Warren campaign press release claims as the unassailable truth.

Priceless.

Harvard Law School denying that they hire less qualified people based on Diversity.

Say it isnt so!

Quote : Cherokee Liz's Shoddy Scholarship [investors.com] Turns out throughout her academic career, Warren has listed her race as Native American in law school directories that administrators use as a tip sheet when making diversity hires. snip Warren says she listed herself as a minority merely to meet other people with tribal roots — "in the hopes that I would be invited to a luncheon." She expressed shock that "anybody" would question her qualifications. snip This begs the question: If Warren's scholarship is so deeply lacking academic vigor, how did she land a full professorship at Harvard? Her curriculum vitae shows she bounced from college to college, working as a lecturer or researcher, for a full decade after graduating from Rutgers Law, ranked 82nd by Top-Law-Schools.com. (She got her bachelor's degree from the University of Houston, one of the least competitive colleges in the country). She was offered a full professorship after she started listing herself as a minority. Harvard hired her in the mid-1990s, when the school was under fire for not having enough minority professors.

You should have highlighted these parts too. ; )

They may not have hired her only on that basis but they were under significant pressure to do more minority hiring at the time after Derrick Bell's protests and they claimed her as such on a number of occasions in direct response to that matter:

Quote : Integrating Harvard Law Published: February 01, 1998 SIGN IN TO E-MAIL PRINT To the Editor: Re the Jan. 29 Op-Ed article on hiring at Harvard Law School: Since 1989 the school has appointed to the faculty or voted tenure for four African-Americans, a Hispanic professor and eight women, including a Native American. The school first offered a visiting professorship to Lani Guinier in 1992. Because of her nomination by President Clinton and for personal reasons, she was unable to accept our offer until January 1996. We offered her a tenured professorship in February 1996 and were happy to receive her acceptance of the offer this month. Over all, 44 percent of the people appointed to positions of professoror assistant professor since Robert Clark became dean in 1989 have been women or minorities group members. We expect this trend in faculty hiring to continue. MICHAEL CHMURA News Director, Harvard Law School Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 30, 1998

http://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/01...63634.html

Quote : ...Harvard Law School currently has only one tenured minority woman, Gottlieb Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren, who is Native American. The racial makeup of the HLS Faculty has been an issue before as well: in 1989, Harvard dismissed Weld Professor of Law Derrick A. Bell after 18 years of teaching because the noted expert on race and law refused to end his leave in protest of the absence of minority women on HLS faculty.

Also appears that they and Penn may have claimed her as Native American on Federal EEOC reports.

You guys are kidding yourselves if you think this isn't an issue.

So far we have you and likes of you merely saying that she was not qualified. Yet likes of you conider W a qualified pres......err.....qualified anything.

If a university hires, say, alen keyes as a professor -- remember him? The black guy who is brilliant because he regurgitates some of right-wingers' crap -- he would be considered minority faculty. That does not mean he is any less brilliant or less qualified.

Indeed what a hoot.

Please articulate, nay, just say, what the issue is. Thanks.

Quote from TRNT : Please articulate, nay, just say, what the issue is. Thanks.

Seems like the issue is that she's been claiming to be a Cherokee when she isn't which is...weird.
