Jessica A. Krug, a White professor at George Washington University, admits she falsely claimed Black identity

The University of Wisconsin at Madison, where Krug earned a PhD in 2012, announced in 2009 that she was one of the recipients of the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowships who would be traveling to Angola and Brazil to study history. A spokeswoman for the Education Department was not immediately able to confirm that.
