[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She married Bruce -- Brown University (BA, MA); Yale University (MPhil, JD, PhD) -- in 1980. She had some status envy and did whatever it took. Nobody on Harvard Law School's roster has her degree mill credentials.[/quote]

It is likely that she was hired at Penn as a condition for Bruce to make the move to Penn, but she was well-qualified for the position. When he moved to Harvard, she was offered only a part-time position at first. Once she got the job, she again proved herself to be an expert in a field of law that the Ivy alumni don't care about. She did not get either job because of any minority claim, but in both cases, probably because they wanted to hire her husband. [/quote]

It’s always disaster when a woman, especially a feminist, gets a ride to the top from her husband.

I am even more disappointed in Warren now. She’s quite the fraud.[/quote]

Penn and Harvard might have been too elitist to recruit her if not for her husband, but she excelled at both places and proved that she deserved to be there. [/quote]

Like they’d say anything else other than she was excellent as the goal was to hire and retain her husband.

They didn't give her a full professorship. She earned that status after she was hired and later earned tenure.

She was doing very well at Texas, and might have stayed there, but she followed her husband to Penn and Harvard for his career, even though it meant giving up tenure in Texas.

Her research forced the financial establishment and policy makers to recognize that bankruptcy laws should not just be for helping rich assholes and corporate creditors who had made bad investments, but that middle-income households were bankrupting themselves over out-of-pocket health costs and overextending themselves to buy houses in good school districts, and maybe the bankruptcy code should be more helpful to those people. Nobody at Harvard or Penn law schools was going to give a shit about those people until Warren did her work at Texas. [/quote]
