        She was a professor at other University's. Harvard hired her specifically to fill the need for a minority. Harvard then promoted her as a native American. It fulfilled a federal mandate.

        Whether or not it helped her is irrelevant and no, it’s not complicated.

        I'm fairly confident a true minority that was denied a position did not find her claims complicated.

        You’re assuming she’s not, which has not been proven... I am sorry but if your grandma told you you were part Indian you’d believe it too. You seem to be conflating your dislike for her and facts (which, at this point, are unknown).

        Almost anyone in her position, i.e., of being widely regarded as a hoaxer for personal gain, would discreetly line up a private DNA test, then make the exonerating results public. It would be that simple to put all of the criticism to rest. That she hasn't done so is damning.

        Will claiming Hispanic heritage actually help Robert Francis O’Rourke get ahead? The exact situation here in Texas. MSM won’t call Irish American “Beto” out for trying to leverage the Latino vote by false name illusions. Abuse by cultural appropriation. Warren & O’Rourke lied.

        Like Rafael “Ted” Cruz did trying to sound more white? Truth is the both go by nicknames they’ve used prior to politics and voters should focus more on the issues they represent.

        Ted is short for his middle name Edward. Ted was the same nickname used by Edward "Ted" Kennedy. I find it hilarious that our discourse is reduced to whose nickname is phony or not. Who cares if Beto sounds more hispanic? The man has been successful in EL PASO

        Common sense suggests that if there were nothing to be gained, she wouldn't have lied. Unless she's just a compulsive liar, of course. You may have a point after all.

        If it had no bearing on her career, why change it mid-course? Why not take a genetics test to confirm and put it all to rest? It sure seems like it was made up to help in some way, and she doesn’t have evidence (other than inadmissible hearsay) to back it up.

        Or it was a family story that she had no reason to question until it suddenly became a big thing. I've found out later that plenty of our family's "history" was at best exaggerated or misunderstood and occasionally just made up. It happens.

        Um, ok. But would you intentionally change your ethnicity designation on personnel records based on such poorly sourced information? As a law school professor, who should be at least passingly familiar with rules of evidence, it sure seems like it was done for personal gain.

        If my grandmother told me that she or my grandfather was native american? Yea, I would. I took mine's word that we were of Swedish decent long before I saw my great-grandfather's school report card in Swedish.

        My family also joined an ethnic fraternal organization based off no other evidence than my great-grandmother saying we were of that ethnicity. I have no other "proof" that she is actually decedent from the Portuguese other than her word.
