In a 1994 interview, then-Harvard Law School
dean Richard Clark said his institution was actively applying an
affirmative action policy to hiring female faculty, The Daily Caller has
learned. The famed law school first offered Massachusetts Democratic
Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren a professorship in 1992 and granted
her tenure in 1995.
And charges leveled in a 1990 academic law journal raised serious questions about her qualifications to teach at Harvard at all. (RELATED: Complete coverage of Elizabeth Warren)
In 1991, Rutgers Professor Phillip Schuchman reviewed Warren’s co-authored 1989 book “As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy and Consumer Credit in America” in the pages of the Rutgers Law Review, a publication Warren once edited. Schuchman found “serious errors” which result in “grossly mistaken functions and comparisons.”
Warren and her co-authors had drawn improper conclusions from “even their flawed findings,” and “made their raw data unavailable” to check, he wrote. “In my opinion, the authors have engaged in repeated instances of scientific misconduct.”
The work “contains so much exaggeration, so many questionable ploys, and so many incorrect statements that it would be well to check the accuracy of their raw data, as old as it is,” Schuchman added.
Harvard Law School appears to have overlooked that review, in part, because of its commitment to hiring a woman professor. (RELATED: Native American accuses Elizabeth Warren and Harvard of ‘ethnic fraud’)
“We’re clearly trying to add more women to the faculty,” Clark told the Harvard Law Record in March 1994.
