A shocking confession by a professor at George Washington University.
Jessica Krug, a Professor of African and Latin American studies at George Washington University has revealed she had been lying about being Black for years, and will no longer teach classes this semester. Krug revealed she was actually White, Jewish and from Kansas City and that she’s been lying and pretending for years to be a black woman.
In response to the Revelation, A statement from the institution by the University Provost Brian Blake and Dean Paul Wahlbeck reads “While the university reviews this situation, Dr. Krug will not be teaching her classes this semester. We are working on developing a number of options for students in those classes, which will be communicated to affected students as soon as possible.”
“We want to acknowledge the pain this situation has caused for many in our community and recognize that many students, faculty, staff and alumni are hurting,” the message said, offering support to students and faculty through the Office of Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement and Counseling and Psychological.
The institution however said they are taking the situation seriously and are definitely going to support their community.
The message from the institution’s administration comes just a day after Jessica Krug a professor of African and Latin American studies, revealed she was not the Black woman she had been claming to be for years.
Throughout her career, Krug had pretended to be an African American, North African and “Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” she said in the essay.
A Student of the institution who attended Krug’s class told CNN she portrayed herself as an Afro-Latina woman from the Bronx.
The Professor apologized for what she calls her “continued appropriation of a Black Caribbean identity,” saying she was wrong, unethical, immoral, anti-Black and colonial.
She concluded by saying, “I am not a culture vulture,” “I am a culture leech.”
