Wow - Elizabeth Warren, who is running for the Senate in Massachusetts, is accused of claiming American Indian ancestry to advance her career.
From The New York Times:
Elizabeth Warren, the likely Democratic challenger to Senator Scott P. Brown in the closely watched Senate race in Massachusetts, released statements on Monday night from officials at all of the law schools where she has taught insisting that her hiring was based on merit, not ancestry.
The matter erupted Friday when The Boston Herald reported that Harvard Law School identified Ms. Warren in a 1996 article in The Crimson as American Indian in an effort to appear diverse.
