The Crimson -- Harvard itself ----> Warren didn't apply SHE WAS RECRUITED :
"Among the obvious questions that are likely to arise is did Harvard use factually inaccurate diversity data to make compensation-based decisions or to satisfy government applications for research funding,” he wrote.
Those involved in Warren’s recruitment and ultimate hiring said her racial affiliation was not a matter of consideration
when she was first recruited as a visiting professor in 1993 or when she was elected to the faculty in 1995.
“Elizabeth Warren’s heritage had absolutely no role in the decision to recruit her to Harvard Law School,” Law School professor Laurence H. Tribe ’62 wrote in an email. Tribe was one of several faculty members who encouraged Law School administrators to recruit Warren and later voted to grant her tenure.
“
Our decision was entirely based on her extraordinary expertise and legendary teaching ability. This whole dispute is fabricated out of whole cloth and has no connection to reality,” Tribe wrote.
Law School professor Charles Fried, who was a member of the appointments committee that brought Warren to Harvard from the University of Pennsylvania, called any suggestion that Warren was hired for any reason but merit
“complete nonsense.”
“Elizabeth Warren was recruited (she did not apply—one does not apply for these positions) to be a tenured professor at Harvard because she was preeminent in the fields of bankruptcy and commercial law, two fields in which we had strong teaching needs,” Fried said in a statement released by the Law School."
