It has gone from concerning to bad to worse for Lisa Cook. Sure, the mortgage fraud stuff is pretty damning, but when you look at other facets of her career, you see a pattern. And while we're certainly not DEI experts of any sort, her 85-page Tenure Packet released by Chris Brunet through an FOIA certainly gives us the impression that was the case.
See for yourselves:

It’s heavily redacted, but here are the big takeaways:
1) Michigan State’s econ dept likely voted against tenure — but were overruled by the Dean. This means she was not even good enough… pic.twitter.com/m9vlRSvLIY
Post continues:
... for tenure at MSU based on merit, yet somehow Fed Board material?
2) She got tenure despite her research record, not because of it. The tenure packet emphasizes her teaching ability and downplays her research.
3) She would not have gotten tenure without her now-debunked paper.
4) Her tenure packet lists her AER P&P as an AER, with an asterisk indicating it is peer-reviewed. She is lying about this paper being peer reviewed.
5) Every letter writer recognized her as an econ historian, not a macroeconomist or an international economist, which she self-proclaimed to be in Senate testimony.
Woof. So. Much. Woof.
Yes, good eye — it appears her department checked the ‘Do not reappoint’ box, and the redaction didn’t fully obscure it.https://t.co/vCQcZh6uHt

Ruh-roh.
This is shockingly poor scholarship for someone granted tenure at a supposedly reputable university, with barely one article every two years, and even those padded with think tank pieces at Hoover. pic.twitter.com/99lxX5m1mm

Shockingly poor is putting it nicely.

That's never a choice you want to have to make.
Here’s a copy of her Atlanta mortgage. I’ve also posted a link to her Michigan Mortgage.

They both have a principal residence occupancy clause, and were signed within two weeks of each other. https://t.co/XqsLy8Ggfa
Cue the Left telling us how paperwork and receipts are racist in 3... 2... 1...
