Harvard Must Set the Record Straight on Elizabeth Warren
[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
is beginning to solidify herself as a top-tier candidate in the Democrat primary. She has been forced to backtrack on her decades-long claims of being a woman of color, but Harvard still has not done the same. Why has Harvard not set the record straight?

In 1993, Harvard Law School offered Warren a highly coveted tenured professor job. The record is clear as to how she obtained the offer -- Harvard had been the subject of a discrimination lawsuit at the time regarding its hiring practices, and the school was openly trying to hire women and people of color at its law school.

Warren did not begin her job until 1995 due to "family reasons," but shortly after she started, Harvard Law School News Director Mike Chmura began touting her as the first woman of color to be given tenure at the institution. Here are just some of the references to her minority status:

1996: Spokesperson Chmura identifies Warren as a native American professor in the Harvard Crimson.

1997: In the Fordham Law Review, Chmura touts Warren as Harvard Law’s "first woman of color."

1998: Chmura, in a letter to the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, stated that the law school had appointed "eight women, including a Native American." Three days later, the Crimson reiterated that "Harvard Law School has only one tenured minority woman, Gottlieb Professor Elizabeth Warren, who is Native American."

1999: Harvard begins publishing its affirmative action plan on its website and lists a single Native American professor.

Public reports continued to list a single native American professor at the school intermittingly until 2011. The U.S. Department of Labor requires large employers like Harvard to collect diversity statistics annually. Based on public reporting, it is likely that Harvard reported Warren as a minority to the U.S. government during her time.

Looking at a timeline history from the law school’s own website, it lists many minority achievements, such as the first female president of the Harvard Law Review, the first black president of the Harvard Law Review (Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
), and the first woman dean (Elena Kagan). But the school is noticeably silent on something it so publicly touted for decades ‐ the first tenured female minority law school professor.

#3 it lists many minority achievements, the first female president of the Harvard Law Review, the first black president of the Harvard Law Review...the first woman dean (Elena Kagan).

Does it also mention the first math professor to get life without parole(Ted Kaczynski)and first woman to get life without parole (Amy Bishop) ?

#5 So the question might boil down to: Did Harvard know she was lying at the time?
