A California professor who has been accused for years of faking her Native American heritage after once slamming white women for “opting to become Indian” will retire from her teaching position after negotiating an agreement with the school.

University of California, Riverside ethnic studies professor Andrea Smith’s teaching career at the university will come to an end in August 2024, according to a separation agreement reported on by the New York Times. The retirement comes after 13 faculty members filed an August 2022 complaint claiming Smith had lied about her Cherokee identity and violated academic integrity.
