[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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

Many people would excel at those places if they had the opportunity

But very few are craven enough to claim to be a minority in order to get a foot in the door[/quote]

She was not hired based on minority status at either school. She was hired as merely a visiting professor for 1 year at Harvard, went back to Penn for 2 years, and then was hired as a full professor at Harvard based on her professional accomplishments. Then she was tenured at Harvard, again based on merit. [/quote]

How do you know that those hiring her didn't consider the fact that they thought she was a Native American? [/quote]
NP, not PP, but the Boston Globe took a really deep dive into this in September.
