So the question is, did she know that they listed her as that or not? If the school did it to skew their numbers of minority faculty, then it's on the school, not her. However, if they pulled this information from a directory that she sent the info to, and listed herself as that, then she should've known it would be used. She claims she never used it to advance her career, and how much does that matter if she's demonstrated good job performance in the decades since then?

But the next question is, what does this have to do with her ability to do the job?
BTW, I'm 1/32 Irish, but I don't go around calling myself Irish...b/c I'm 31/32 German heritage and more proud of that!
I've definitely got a wider stubborn streak and penchant for efficiency than a hot temper. 
Of course, being German-American or Irish-American doesn't get one anything in terms of special consideration for jobs or college acceptance here in the US so who cares, but us Irish sure were persecuted once upon a time and Germans haven't fared so well in the reputation department in the past century.

Umm, misquote there??
I didn't say Warren was nuts (unless TLGT was trying to say I'm nuts, which I won't dispute whatsoever, I'm getting more and more that way every day!).
lol
