According to everyone who was ever in charge of hiring her, they did not know of her claims of ancestry. (One of them suspects it was discussed but he can't remember for sure).
"One area that 30 of the 31 [Harvard professors who had a hand in hiring her] interviewed by the Globe agreed on: There was no talk about her Native American claims during the meetings over her appointment. One professor emeritus, Lloyd Weinreb, said he believes her Native American ancestry was discussed. But, in an e-mail he questioned his own recollection: “I am not sure enough for you to rely on me,” he wrote."
