I’m a little late to this (as in 1.75 hours, which is like forever in internet time), so h/t to Ed Driscoll standing in for Prof. Reynolds at Instapundit, and dmacleo in the Tip Line.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
A second law school, the University of Pennsylvania, has touted Elizabeth Warren as a minority faculty member in an official school publication, according to an online document obtained by the Globe.
The University of Pennsylvania, where Warren taught at the law school from 1987 through 1995, listed her as a minority in a “Minority Equity Report” posted on its website. The report, published in 2005, well after her departure, included her as the winner of a faculty award in 1994. Her name was highlighted in bold, the designation used for minorities in the report.
For someone who never touted her alleged (now disproven) “minority” status, her two most prominent law school employers sure seemed eager to tout her “minority” status.
Other documents obtained by The Globe point to the importance of Warren getting herself on “List 2” (Minority Law Teachers) in the annual directories of the Association of American Law Schools:
In addition, a newly unearthed University of Texas personnel document shows that Warren listed herself as “white” when she taught at the law school there from 1981 to 1991.
The undated document, obtained by the Globe through a public records request, supports Warren’s statement that she did not present herself as a Native American when hired for the job. But it leaves open the question of why she later listed herself as a minority in a legal directory that is often consulted by hiring deans….
Leonard P. Strickman, founding dean at Florida International University, one of the nation’s most diverse law schools, said deans often consult the Association of American Law Schools directory when seeking out minority applicants, but look more rigorously at scholarship before making hires.
Warren can make this easy, fess up and hope it blows over by November, or continue to play the victim, and keep it percolating.
Bonus Track: I was a guest on Dan Rea’s NightSide Show on WBZ 1030 – the Boston mega station – last night, and guess who we talked about?

I am thinking (no proof, opinion) Hahhhvvaaaahd may have actively recruited her based on this application.
More popcorn…!!!
Drip. Drip. Dripping with butter?
Nummy good…
I think we’re getting close to cigarette time.
Obviously, we will need an investigation of Ms Warren to see if she or any of the various academic institutions that employed her filed falsely for any federal grants based on her faux status.
If the Globe is going after documents, she is in more trouble than she thinks.
I had the same thought. The Globe must be upset that they have been scooped repeatedly the The Boston Herald. Warren is now caught between two major newspapers vying to break the piece of news that breaks her. Not a good place to be (basically the place Republicans have been in for decades!).
Now you’ve done it.
Crack reporters will discover her lying, cheating, stealing, republican roots by next week-
….checking to see if anyone of importance referred to her as a “democrat” in recent weeks…
What? She was smoking crack?
All it will take is the unearthing of another cheat or puffery on some application or personally aggrandizing something.
I thought I had a good parody of this thing, but Ace beats them all up!
Lizzie Warren took an axe,
and ‘stead of swinging 40 whacks,
she said it was a tomahawk, aw,
and got ID’d as an Indian squaw.
And when called out on what she’d done,
Pretended that her gran was one.
I hope she chooses option 2.

The case is being built for the reassertion of individual dignity. Those who profit from denigrating it will not be at all happy. They will lose their wealth, power, and stature in our society. Such a shame.
Family lore went on sabbatical ’81-’91.
“[D]eans often consult the Association of American Law Schools directory when seeking out minority applicants…”
It’s good to know law school instructors are being hired based on ability and not because of their “minority status”. We’ve come so far.
1/32 IS a minority.
That is a fact.
So she was not a Native American before she was a Native American?
Warren’s personal trail of tears
continues to drip drip drip
Lizzie already “came clean”, she did it to meet others like her
How can she change that story and be anything but dirty?
If she decides that she can’t continue who would replace her on the ballot? Sorry for the ignorance, but other than the saga of Liz, I haven’t followed the rest of Mass. politics.
Marisa DeFranco is also running for the MA Senate seat – she is a native daughter of Massachusetts, is 100% the granddaughter of Italian immigrants, and her husband is 100% the son of Chinese immigrants. Her story resonates with me, I agree with her policy positions, and I respect her integrity.
I am supporting DeFranco for U.S. Senate. The MA Democratic Party wants nothing to do with her, even though she has brains and passion. She is the real underdog in this race!
