It took forever but the
University of Colorado finally fired Ward Churchill. The list of reprehensible things that Churchill has done are long, here are just a few:
Churchill touched off a firestorm in 2005 after an essay surfaced which he wrote shortly after 9/11 likening some victims in the World Trade Center to Adolf Eichmann, who helped carry out the Holocaust.
University officials concluded he could not be fired for his comments because they were protected by the First Amendment, but they launched an investigation into allegations that he fabricated or falsified his research and plagiarized the work of others.
In 2006, a university committee found Churchill guilty of academic misconduct, including plagiarism and a faculty panel recommended he be demoted and suspended for a year without pay. In May, CU President Hank Brown recommended Churchill be fired.
Churchill's lawyer called the University a "right-wing" University. After I got done laughing I realized that his definition of "right-wing" must be anyone that isn't to the left of Phil Donahue. Psycho!!
