Better call the washington post spence! You can have a late breaking, err, I mean old news, scoop for them!
After weeks of controversy, Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said on Wednesday night that she did indeed tell the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University that she was Native American.But she stipulated that the notification occurred only after she was hired by the two schools. The statement marks the first time Warren has explicitly stated that she self-identified as Native American to the law schools where she has been employed.

Agreed but she has not allowed the personnel files from Harvard and Penn to be released. So how could they gain evidentiary support of this. The fact of the matter is she was listed with minority status in the AALS.

The video at the top of this thread has her clearly stating that the people who hired her had no idea of her status.

Yes, AFTER she was hired.
I know the concept of time is a bit burdensome what with the two or three other facts to deal with.

irrelevant, you said there was no evidence she checked the box. What box are we talking about? She admitted she told them. I never said a word that she said she told them before she was hired? Neither did Brown.

Yes, there's apparently no evidence she did checked the box to apply for a position. That doesn't mean she didn't tell them afterword.
As for your "Neither did Brown" remark...look to the debate:
Quote:
“That being said, she checked the box. And she had an opportunity actually to make a decision throughout her career when she applied at Penn and Harvard, she checked the box, claiming she was a native American, and, you know, clearly she’s not.”
