Outrage as white academic who faked black identities is ASKED to resign – her life of lies might not legally be enough to fire her
Colleagues of George Washington University history professor Jessica Krug have called for her to resign after the prestigious school was forced to stop short of firing her for pretending to be black throughout her academic career.
"The discipline of history is concerned with truth telling about the past," members of GWU's history faculty said Friday in a joint statement. "With her conduct, Dr. Krug has raised questions about the veracity of her own research and teaching." The statement called for Krug to resign from her position as an associate professor or to be stripped of her tenure and fired if she refuses.

The response followed a statement by GWU saying that Krug won't be teaching her classes in the current semester amid a university review of the situation. The university could be hard-pressed to fire Krug because her position is tenured.
"They can't just fire her," Mia Bloom, a Georgia State University professor and terrorism analyst, said on Twitter. "She has tenure and lying about being a different race doesn't qualify for one of the conditions in which you can lose tenure."
They can’t just fire her. She has tenure and lying about being a different race doesn’t qualify for one of the conditions in which you can lose tenure. If you want your mind really blown, google David Epstein (who also couldn’t be fired)
