Talk:Lani Guinier

message: Lani Guinier is the SECOND woman of color appointed tenure at Harvard Law School.  Straight from the Harvard newspaper:
http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1998/2/4/welcome-guinier-pwe-welcome-the-announcement/
"We welcome the announcement last week that noted scholar Lani Guinier '71 accepted tenure from Harvard Law School (HLS) and hope her appointment will be followed by offers to others from a diversity of backgrounds.
...Harvard Law School currently has only one tenured minority woman, Gottlieb Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren, who is Native American"
Though for some reason she quietly became the first woman of color sometime later.
Not sure what the point of this section is. Is it a dig at Harvard or at Eliz Warren? We all know now (as of 2018) that Eliz Warren is a white woman who (like many white people) has a family story of Native ancestry and perhaps a few genes to indicate a distant Native biological ancestor. For reasons that she states were sincere at the time, but not accurate, she clicked an additional or wrong box on a Harvard survey, but Warren is not a woman of color. That Harvard page has been corrected. Lani Guinier was clearly the first.David Couch (talk) 21:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: First/Second Woman of Color

message: The whole argument above is by this late date, moot. The talk page offers all too good a history of what happened to Wikipedia. Malinchista, by late 2007 nobody would take this page as anything more than an essay by you. You think you won, but all that happened is the dream of a fair, collaborative encyclopedia has vanished. And by the way, do you really understand what a "malinchista" is? It hardly seems appropriate for you, given your politics. Profhum 08:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: discussion has become moot

message: Shouldn't the article mention that Guinier is a "red-diaper baby" (two communist parents)? Black-Jewish couple in the 1940s -- you know her parents met at a CPUSA meeting Kauffner (talk) 19:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Red-diaper baby

message: This whole article needs more citations and to be completely rewritten by someone other than a freshman for social studies class.  It lacks NPOV, is steeped in original research, and is just not up to Wiki standards.  I realize it's already been talked about but clearly nothing happened.  "She wanted this, she did this..." what is that?  What kind of encyclopedic writing is that?  And according to who?  The prime contributor/writer or an actual verifiable source?  If I knew how to tag this or cared enough to start editing I would but I will leave up to someone who knows more about this subject.  144.92.85.41 (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Lack of NPOV

message: I edited the article to reflect a more balanced nonPOV tone. Please remeber that wikipedia requires NPOV. Media outlets are only considered good sources for either unequivical facts (i.e. it is day outside), or good sources for the fact that a certain POV exists! Many of the arguments in the discussions above miss this crucial point. Whatever the NYT (or the Columbia Journalism Review etc.) says is certainly not considered a fact. Rather, the NYT is a good source for a certain POV. Please familiarize yourself with how wikipedia works, and then I am sure we can reach a solution. 38.117.213.19 (talk) 03:43, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV? edited article to be so

message: Whoever placed the NPOV tag was right to do so. That section of the article, on Ms. Guinier's nomination, was heavily slanted and biased against Republicans, and had a very non-neutral tone. I changed to make it very, much more neutral.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cali11298 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  I removed NPOV tag, I've edited it to make it more NPOV.
