University President on Paid Leave After Claiming Indigenous Identity

a statement apologizing for any pain she has caused as a result of her claims.

“But then I looked into it on my own and I didn’t feel comfortable identifying as a member of a band that wasn’t official or as a member of a band anyway because I was not raised Mi’kmaw and so I removed it and never referred to it again,” Timmons explained. “I have been reflecting on this feedback from the Indigenous community, and I sincerely regret any hurt or confusion sharing my story may have caused. That was never my intention and I deeply apologize to those I have impacted,” she also stated.

How come they all say...I never claimed to be such and such a race after they land the sweet paying gig?

Time for her to claim she's really a trans POC.

I am SO incredibly proud of my family heritage...it's never occurred to me to lie about what I am. I can't even imagine being that broken inside to not just rely on being my best self. Hey SenWarren care to comment? hahahahahahahahaha

What do you expect from university president, integrity or polictics

How come they didn’t do this to the fake Indian Elizabeth Warren?

I met Vianne a few months ago while visiting MUN. I found her an exceptional person and dedicated to MUN. Also at first glance I thought there was indigenous in her ancestry. This is a great loss to the University. This in a society that glorifies fake women that falsehood

Elizabeth Warren’s half sister.

which one.

pocahontas 2.0?

'voluntary paid leave'... That'll show her 😂😂😂

In french we say ⬇️ ~ L'hypocrisie a un sexe. C'est féminin. Voilà.

How

I always claim to be native American, because I am. I was born here. Ergo, native.

Why wouldn’t she just embrace her WhitePrivilege ? She would have been the president of a much better university if they knew she was white…right? She could have been the President of U we’d heard of…is MemorialU even a real college?

'Paid Leave' = Vacation

In truth, NOBODY can claim genuine 'indigenous identity'. Nobody 'originated' in North America. EVERYBODY here came from somewhere else. 'Native Americans' simply arrived [from China, across the Bering Land Bridge] sooner than other groups.

Is this a man

Another Pocahontas!?!?

Dollar Store Elizabeth Warren?

“Fauxcohontas” Elizabeth Warren must be so proud of her legacy

Making history: Aurora University names a Latina as presidentA Ball State University provost and vice president for executive affairs will head to Aurora this summer to lead Aurora University. Does she have a name? What a condescending headline. Always nice to hire on the basis of race and skin color, rather than merit. I’m sure the depositors at Silicon Valley Bank UK LTD were pleased to know that the head of Financial Risk Mgmt and Model Risk was a queer person of color from a ‘working class background’.
