Fordham is NOT Harvard!!! DUH!Harvard NEVER named who the woman was, it is just conjecture that it was her. She was hired on her own superlative merits.she was touted after her hire at Harvard Law School as, yes, the school’s “first woman of color.”
Not true:
But a 1997 Fordham Law Review piece described her as Harvard Law School's "first woman of color," based, according to the notes at the bottom of the story, on a "telephone interview with Michael Chmura, News Director, Harvard Law (Aug. 6, 1996)."
The mention was in the middle of a lengthy and heavily-annotated Fordham piece on diversity and affirmative action and women. The title of the piece, by Laura Padilla, was "Intersectionality and positionality: Situating women of color in the affirmative action dialogue."
"There are few women of color who hold important positions in the academy, Fortune 500 companies, or other prominent fields or industries," the piece says. "This is not inconsequential. Diversifying these arenas, in part by adding qualified women of color to their ranks, remains important for many reaons. For one, there are scant women of color as role models. In my three years at Stanford Law School, there were no professors who were women of color. Harvard Law School hired its first woman of color, Elizabeth Warren, in 1995."
Fordham piece called Warren Harvard Law's 'first woman of color'
I know, it's the University of Pennsylvania where she, also, claimed to be Native American.
