Ward Churchill May Finally Get Canned
Posted by Dave Blount at May 29, 2007 2:57 PM
Years after it came to light that Colorado University ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill has habitually indulged in fraud and plagiarism in addition to hyperbolic anti-American rhetoric, CU President Hank Brown has recommended that he be fired.
Churchill was made chairman of the ethnic studies department despite having no academic qualifications on the strength of his claim to be an Indian, which turns out not to be true. His scholarship consists of plagiarism and lies defaming the USA.
No doubt Mental Ward would have been shown the door as soon as this became public knowledge, if not for the accomplishment that made him famous: proving himself vile enough to denounce those who perished at the World Trade Center on 9/11 as "Little Eichmanns" who deserved to die. Now any attempt to discipline him for plagiarism and fraud is met with liberal screeching about silencing dissent.
But as Brown has finally gathered the courage to announce:
The university cannot disregard allegations of serious research misconduct simply because the allegations were made against a professor whose comments have attracted a high degree of public attention.
Since Churchill has tenure, Brown still has to go through a bureaucratic labyrinth to get rid of him. Too bad no one has heard him say "nappy-headed"; he'd be out on his ear in a week.
Like a true leftist parasite, Churchill says he will sue when they finally fire him.
