☆ California professor accused of faking Native American ancestry reaches agreement to resign
  + stars: | 2023-08-28 | by ( Cheri Mossburg | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —An ethnic studies professor who was accused of claiming to be Native American has agreed to part ways next year with the University of California Riverside following a complaint filed by colleagues, documents show. The separation agreement makes clear that Smith “denies and disputes all allegations contained in the complaint.” CNN has reached out to Smith for further comment. “The nine-page separation agreement will bring a negotiated end to Professor Smith’s employment with the university,” university spokesperson John Warren said in a statement. Earlier this year, another California professor issued an apology for claiming to be Native American. Hoover remains part of UC Berkeley’s faculty.

☆ Prominent Scholar Who Claimed to Be Native American Resigns

There had been accusations for at least 15 years that Andrea Smith, a prominent ethnic studies professor, had falsely claimed to be Native American. Her scholarship was partly built on what she said was her Cherokee identity, but she never publicly — and scholars and former friends say, privately — offered a detailed explanation for her Cherokee claims. Now, after a recent complaint by 13 faculty members, Professor Smith has agreed to retire from the University of California, Riverside, next year in an unusual separation agreement. Signed in January, the agreement avoids an investigation into the faculty complaint, which accused her of false claims of Native identity that violated academic integrity. Riverside will pay up to $5,000 toward her legal costs of resolving the complaint.
