George Washington University Professor Resigns After Admitting She Lied About Being Black

About a week ago, George Washington University announced that one of its teachers, Jessica Krug would be resining this academic year after admitting that she has been lying about being Black since she started there.

The school released a statement saying:

“Dr. Krug has resigned her position, effective immediately. Her classes for this semester will be taught by other faculty members, and students in those courses will receive additional information this week,” the university said in a statement obtained by CNN on Wednesday.

It continued, “We hope that with this update our community can begin to heal and move forward.”

She’s resigning in part because of the response from an essay she wrote, in which she admits that she has been lying about being North African, African American and her “Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness.” She actually is actually White, Jewish and from Kansas City.

Krug apologized for what she called her “continued appropriation of a Black Caribbean identity,” saying she was wrong, unethical, immoral, anti-Black and colonial.

“I am not a culture vulture,” she wrote. “I am a culture leech.”
