Its just so obvious that you fit the criteria for low-income, but it seems like they feel like you dont fit it in the spirit of how they want it.

Youre engaged in a lawsuit with Penn. And those other people are kind of like the orphans that we think of in Dickensian novels.

Attached were copies of the Missouri court orders expunging Morrison's arrest and removing her name from the DSS registry.

[10], Fierceton, who outside of school had also taken on a volunteer position as a birthing doula, decided during that summer to apply for a Rhodes Scholarship to get a Ph.D. at Oxford University in England, encouraged by a classmate who had just won one himself and was impressed by her activism. [2][h], In January 2020[4] Fierceton had a seizure and collapsed during a class for one of her graduate social work courses. Jay Caspian Kang sounded similar themes in two different New York Times newsletters discussing Fierceton's story. I think this is a conversation not necessarily for people who are still in question about what happened here. I had no idea what she already knew. "[2], Fierceton answered yes. Penn, by questioning so much of Fierceton's story, was making itself "complicit in a long campaign of continuing abuse", she added. If you havent read the story yet, I highly recommend pausing this, and giving it a read first, because I try not to go over too much of the same territory in my interview with her. Fierceton clarified the details in question and Ruderman said she understood better. "[2], That feeling was not mutual, Fierceton came to suspect. Whereas white parents, a lot of times, it is much harder the bar is much higher to remove them from their homes because their whiteness or possibly class privilege or whatever identities that they have that might not fit a social worker or judges or whoevers involved perception of whose kids should be in the foster system. And if you read it aloud, its almost exactly the length of the phone call. "I really don't have words,'" she told a mentor at the Penn Women's Center.

[2], Fierceton was accepted at the University of Pennsylvania (commonly known as Penn) on a full scholarship, arranged through QuestBridge.

[2], Almost three months later, The New Yorker ran a longer article about Fierceton, which had taken the magazine eight months to report and fact-check. While the investigators understood, they also wrote that the limited information she provided may have been more likely to elicit an answer favorable to her. In the transcript, I wrote it was really just focused on: What happened the night you went into foster care? At first she explained Fierceton's injuries as either having been caused by an intruder or somehow self-inflicted, then said her daughter had fallen downstairs while she was trying to help her get some chewing gum out of her hair. Fierceton said that when she had applied to SP2 as a sophomore she had cleared it with the school's associate director of admissions, who told her that a student's biological parents were not relevant to that definition, and said the same thing in 2020 (Penn's OSC interviewed the associate director and SP2's associate director for financial aid whom Fierceton said she had a similar conversation with; neither remembered speaking with Fierceton about the issue)[1]:111112). "[I]t was probably from someone in my biological family," she told The Intercept, "because it had photos of me; it had very specific information that very few people would haveand I don't think many people would have random childhood photos of me. .

I was a teenager and I was in the hospital and I didnt have any perspective. "She was falling apart under the academic stresses at school and was exhausted, and I believe looking for an out." Then the University of Pennsylvania accused her of lying. The court had ordered Fierceton and Morrison into family therapy, but the former was too afraid of the latter to do it. So normally the term FGLI, its just an umbrella term for both. And they released this quote-unquote report in April of 2021 with their findings. [1]:115 As to her previous involvement with the child welfare system, Penn says Fierceton told them she was not certain, but she was referring either to the guardian ad litem appointed for her during her parents' divorce or an earlier incident when she and her biological parents were still living in Connecticut. so that people have the background there.

She was one of only 32 high school students selected from a pool of 2300 applicants. For all the readers could have known, there could have been a videotape of it happening. She was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and released after three weeks.

Mackenzie Fierceton, 23, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, possesses a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania and planned to utilize the scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. in social . Or is this something thats been overlooked? So the Rhodes Trust ended up after their quote-investigation, and I submitted all the evidence, they ended up still recommending that my scholarship be rescinded, uh, but I had another opportunity to respond to their report, which I absolutely wanted to do. [Laughs.]. And I think its true. And it felt very similar that, well, this cant be real. What was the response from the readers of the paper? So first-generation and/or low-income, again, is the acronym. RG: Right. She had lived with her mother since her parents divorced acrimoniously during her childhood, and a guardian ad litem was appointed to represent Fierceton's interests in the proceeding, during which abuse allegations were made. [Laughs.] She is suing Penn for defamation, arguing its real goal in investigating her was to discredit her as a witness in and retaliate for a wrongful death suit filed against the university by the widow of a fellow student which Fierceton instigated. And again, people, including Penn administrators, have the perception of I think the stereotype and my friend Anea Moore, whos a Rhodes Scholar and graduate of Penn who founded Penn first or co-founded it had a really great quote in The New Yorker about we arent all, quote-unquote something along the lines of like impoverished, inner city kids who go to crumbling public schools as the wider media portrays us to be. Yeah. How long were you in the hospital? MF: I mean, part of it is honestly like its looking at cause we just wanted to be as thorough as possible of when [laughs] I was crying, and then I was crying and taking breaths. You have a good education and youre clearly smart.

Detective Carrie Brandt, who had been planning to follow up on the hotline report at Whitfield that day, instead interviewed Fierceton at the hospital. And that feels like one of them where it feels like the system is willfully misunderstanding reality in order to bend it in their direction. [2] Ruderman's story, published the next day, began:[13]. [2], In public, while she was at Whitfield, Morrison and her daughter seemed to evoke the Gilmore Girls, echoing that television series's main characters, a single mother and her precocious daughter with a close and strong relationship. So Rachel had it and Penn disputed it.

Penn has released its hold on a master of social work degree from Mackenzie Fierceton the former Rhodes Scholarship recipient who filed a lawsuit against the University following its investigation into allegations that she falsified her status as a first-generation, low-income student and survivor of abuse. "[12] Gutmann, soon to step down from her position to serve as U.S. ambassador to Germany, had made increasing the amount of FGLI students at Penn a priority in her previous 17 years as the university's president. Thats been my understanding of it. And one of the main things they pointed to was that she had gone to this private school . MF: You know, in my personal experience, there were not very many kids who came from a background like me. [H]onestly, first-generation is never something I've really identified with fully. [4] It took nearly an hour, during which Fierceton seized intermittently and never completely regained consciousness, for her to be taken to the hospital. Why were you in the hospital that long? Within days of the article being published, the universitys general counsel was in touch with Mackenzies mother. There were some pretty basic errors, such as my name, my birth name, and my birth place, and claiming that I didnt have a sibling, that I wasnt low-income, a lot of facts that were pretty easily disputed. And so I was like, of course, Im going to respond again. It finds the definition the university's office uses, without that language, as being more determinative; Penn First, the FGLI student organization Fierceton had been involved with, also used that definition on its website for most of the time she was an undergraduate. Mackenzie Fierceton was championed as a former foster youth who had overcome an abusive childhood and won a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. ", When Penn's Office of Student Conduct confronted Fierceton with the discrepancy between her statement on two of her applications that she ", The exact definition of FGLI relevant to forms Fierceton filled out is a key point in the Rhodes Trust and Penn investigations of her.

Mackenzie Morrison was born Mackenzie Terrell but took her mother's name after her father, Billy Terrell, who worked in soap operas, left. Like, it seemed like an airtight case from my perspective. When she was a teenager, she showed up bloodied and bruised at her elite private school. Her junior year at Whitfield, a prestigious prep school, Mackenzie showed up to school one day in a terrible state. So Rachel had it and Penn disputed it. She bounced from one foster home to the next. One home, during her junior year of high school, was so "toxic" and crammed with other foster kids that she left for weeks at a time, sleeping each night on a carousel of couches at the homes of various friends, she said. And I think said something along the lines of there were things missing and it was distorted. She felt as if it might have been an attempt to intimidate her. Fine. [2], In July the OSC concluded its investigation with a 31-page report sent to provost Wendell Pritchett examining Fierceton's background more extensively than the Rhodes Trust had. She petitioned the court, and was able to successfully have her name removed, with a judge ruling that there wasnt enough evidence to substantiate the abuse allegations specifically, saying, While it is possible that Petitioner was the cause of the alleged injuries, the court cannot make that finding by a preponderance of the evidence based on the evidence presented.. So now Im looking at one American city and one English city and comparing the experiences of youth who crossed over from the child welfare system to the criminal justice system in both of those cities and kind of how the geopolitical environment and local policies and practices might impact the rate of youth crossing over and their experiences.Then its going to be a qualitative study in just really trying to understand their experiences from their voices, which is something that I often find missing from research. And then there was this other foster sibling who was the biological kid of the foster parents I was staying with, and spelling it out in that way. Fierceton applied for the Rhodes Scholarship with assistance from Penn's Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships. [2], Some of those Morrison talked with did believe her; a classmate of Fierceton's recalled people likening her to the protagonist of the film Gone Girl, about a Missouri woman who disappears in order to avenge herself on an adulterous husband, whom she makes it appear killed her. The father's message was forwarded to Penn's general counsel, Wendy White, who got in touch with Morrison. This can happen to someone in my community. And I didnt get an answer. Like what does Penn say when you tell them: Hey, the Penn official who helped me fill this out said that these are the categories that I fit. And I asked again and just said: Ive had different experiences of harassment for the last four years at Penn. She helped SP2 assistant professor Toorjo Ghose draft and promote a petition in support of Police Free Penn, an activist group calling on the university to cut its ties with the Philadelphia Police Department over its poor relations with the largely black and Latin residents of the West Philadelphia neighborhoods around the university's campus, and rethink its own police department, the largest private one in the state. But the outline of the story is this: Mackenzie was raised in a wealthy St. Louis suburb by a single mother who was repeatedly abusive, according to two state agencies. Rather than it being for the purpose of benefiting the students themselves. She entered foster care only at the age of 17, after making a complaint of abuse against Dr. Morrison a complaint that a court later found not to be credible. That would have to be the rationale that they would have for those childhood journals to be faked. Aviv tells the story of Mackenzie Fierceton, a former student at the University of Pennsylvania. Joining is simple and doesnt need to cost a lot: You can become a sustaining member for as little as $3 or $5 a month. So they heard from her and immediately they call you into a meeting with the deputy provost at the time, Beth Winkelstein . Brandt, the Chesterfield police detective who had originally investigated the case, said later that the prosecutor never explained to her what that new evidence was. And I think I just share that because I think its a powerful example of if that is as far as theyre going to go when theres literal documentation from child me and that accusing me of that being faked, I really am like: I dont know, short of a video montage of instances of abuse from 6 to 16, what would convince them. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Mackenzie Fierceton claimed that Penn officials targeted the grad student for retaliation after she became a key witness in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the university. Again following the advice of her college counselor, she did not identify her parents on her application, since she was estranged from both of them (she describes them both as "biological"[3][2]). She ruined her moms career. The Inquirer story came out in November 2020. "[25], "I cannot avoid the sense that Mackenzie is being faulted for not having suffered enough", Norton told The New Yorker. [2], One day in September 2014, she told the history teacher about Lovelace's abuse.

RG: And how much did she challenge your medical condition after that beating? RG: Well, Mackenzie, thank you so much for joining me and sharing your story. And I think that she kind of encompassed a lot of the stereotypes that people, and also the Penn administrators have about what FGLI students are when in reality, those of us who are part of the community know that theres so many shapes and sizes of FGLI students. Enough blood? Its just so obvious that you fit the criteria for low-income, but it seems like they feel like you dont fit it in the spirit of how they want it. Like questioning: How much blood? [2], Brandt noted that Morrison never asked about, or expressed concern for, her daughter's well-being. As in Fierceton's case, it took an hour to remove Driver from the building. Our concern is instead with the conduct of our. And what area of it are you going to explore with your Ph.D.?

And because you were not just low-income, actually no income, other than the jobs that you were working nobody has complained about the low-income one, right? And it started with, this paragraph-and-a-half of waking up in the hospital and then, like you said, looking at my face, not recognizing myself, and kind of describing what I felt like and what the room looked like. Like what does Penn say when you tell them: Hey, the Penn official who helped me fill this out said that these are the categories that I fit. Cause then you cant think that it could be you. Now anyone who earns that distinction is to be commended, but the article also noted that Mackenzie had aged out of foster care .
