Topic: RSS FeedLani Guinier takes post at Harvard Law School
Jet, Feb 16, 1998
Lani Guinier, who made headlines in 1993 when her nomination for the Justice Department's top civil rights post was withdrawn, has accepted a teaching job at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA.
She is the first tenured minority woman to join the faculty at the law school. She will begin teaching in the fall.
Guinier, 47, was a visiting professor at Harvard in 1996. She currently serves as a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
She is a specialist in voting rights laws and has written widely on topics relating to the democratic theory, affirmative action and legal education. Her views have been criticized by conservatives, which led to the withdrawal of her nomination.
Harvard Law School Dean Robert Clark said Guinier would "help the school attract other top scholars of diverse backgrounds, including more women of color."
Guinier's husband, Nolan Bowie, also will be at Harvard this fall. The New York Times reports that he will take a senior fellowship at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
