Another gem from Jessica Krug’s RMP page. Worth reading the whole thing, and then asking yourself how a history department at a respectable university not only kept this woman in the classroom, but tenured her.

She may have also made the history major seem less respectable if kids got the impression that all you needed to do to be successful there was appear to be a minority and spew a lot of BS. Also, I wonder if GWU getting rid of her could be red meat for racists, since they could point out that this substandard performance was tolerated when people believed she was Black. (That would be really unfortunate since there are a number of truly excellent Black faculty in academia.)
