FReep Opportunity?

Amazing. Some people never learn.
He's on the community college circuit now? Doesn't look like he's getting such high paying gigs anymore.
"He is a Professor of Ethnic Studies and Coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado" ... for the time being.
Oh well, I'm sure he can still be the commencement speaker at Evergreen.
"Doesn't look like he's getting such high paying gigs anymore."
Doesn't matter, Chief Churchill is bringin' in around 100K a year from Colorado U. thanks to your tax dollars.
CU should have fired this clown months ago!!!
And CU should have filed a lawsuit for back wages on the grounds that Churchill gained employment on false pretenses and for filing a bogus application!!!!
Where is the Colorado AG??
helloooooooo???
I thought Churchill kept changing his tribal identity, since no tribe has him registered as a member. So now he's a "Keetoowah Band Cherokee"?
I wonder if he knows that the Cherokees are now promoting the Ten Commandments, since the ACLU won't let Paleface governments do it?

From the article on the 10 commandments:
"God has blessed our tribe," she said. "We have a very rich tribe, per se. We are operating on over a $200 million budget thanks to our gaming enterprise."
Something kind of sad/funny/weird about this statement!
Plus his wife is on the faculty of Georgia State's law school (two blocks from my loft). And don't forget about all that extra cash he picks up reproducing and selling real Indian's artwork and calling it his own.
" To the extent that Churchill was hired because he claimed to be a Native American, he would seem to be guilty of academic fraud. But the situation is worse than this. "
" Thomas Brown, a professor of sociology at Lamar University, has written a paper that outlines what looks like a more conventional form of academic fraud on Churchill's part. According to Brown, Churchill fabricated a story...by simply inventing almost all of the story's most crucial facts, and then attributing these "facts" to sources that say nothing of the kind. "
"One has only to read the sources that Churchill cites to realize the magnitude of his fraudulent claims for them," Brown writes. "We are not dealing with a few minor errors here. We are dealing with a story that Churchill has fabricated almost entirely from scratch. The lack of rationality on Churchill's part is mind-boggling."
" Similar charges have been leveled against Churchill by University of New Mexico law professor John Lavelle, a Native American scholar who has documented what appear to be equally fraudulent claims on Churchill's part...(Lavelle also accuses Churchill of plagiarism). "
Paul Campos is a professor of law at the University of Colorado.

"...Ward Churchill would do himself some good to express a profound apology to people he has offended and misled. He should also come clean about his appropriated American Indian identity. "

He'll fit right in in Seattle. Maybe he will even show the people how to barbeque a wild salmon?
Nobody covers it. We need just one CONSERVATIVE media outlet
"Ward Churchill (Keetoowah Band Cherokee) is one of the most outspoken of Native American activists"
This IS disgusting! It's a proven LIE!!!!
The guy is a fraud from the get go, but he is allowed to perpetuate his identity fraud for some strange reason. The total disconnect from reality is frightening.
Why ???????????
This item is part of today's Opinion Journal essay by Victor Davis Hanson:
http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110007319
"....Now we come to the third case: University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman. She recently resigned, ostensibly following athletic scandals, but more likely as a result of the uproar over Ward Churchill. We remember him now as the strange professor who compared the 3,000 murdered in the Twin Towers and Pentagon to "Little Eichmanns," supposed cogs in the military-industrial wheel who deserved their fate. The public grudgingly accepted that Mr. Churchill's wartime praise for the 9/11 murderers ("combat teams" rightfully avenging America's murder of "500,000 Iraqi children") is protected free speech. But it could not quite fathom why Mr. Churchill was not summarily dismissed for other sins.
And they were legion. He had fabricated a Native American heritage, lying on affidavits about his ethnic identity to help make up for his lack of credentials and suspect work. Mr. Churchill had been promoted to full professor at a major research university without the requisite Ph.D. degree, enjoying apparent ethnic immunity from a series of old allegations involving theft of intellectual property, plagiarism and academic misrepresentation. Most people outside the university were amazed not so much that Mr. Churchill was not immediately terminated as that he had been hired and promoted in the first place. To them he seemed like a swerving drunk driver, who when pulled over is found to have a long rap sheet. Yet how many others like the $112,000-a-year, department-chairing Mr. Churchill scramble about in the unexamined sanctuaries of the modern university, parlaying real or imagined victim status into lucrative careers?
President Hoffman did her best to deflect attention from the Churchill mess by a now-familiar victimization gambit. The scandal was not Mr. Churchill and his remarks but the reaction to them: academic freedom was under assault from--what else?--"a New McCarthyism." At the barricades, as it were, she boasted to her faculty senate that "I was a tiger about speech. There was no way I was going to touch speech." She went on, "We are in dangerous times. I'm very concerned. . . . It's looking a lot like [former CU president] George Norlin being asked to fire all the Catholics and Jews or the McCarthy era. We need to make sure we don't let ourselves go down that path, no matter how much shouting there is from the outside. There are forces that would push us down that path if we let them."
Meanwhile, the media-savvy Mr. Churchill--replete with long gray locks, beaded headband, shades, buckskin and the Native American name Keezjunnahbeh (which means "kind-hearted man"; Ward Churchill is his "colonial" name)--was determined to capitalize on his windfall fame. Indeed, he was undoubtedly grateful, after years of toiling in painful obscurity, that the media had at long last noticed his outrageous behavior. He grasped that he was already eligible for lucrative retirement benefits, which now could be enhanced by a generous golden parachute from the University of Colorado, eager to avoid millions of dollars in lawsuits and more bad press.
So Mr. Churchill keeps on touring and speaking to audiences about American culpability for September 11, praising those who murder Americans and vowing hostility to the very idea of America. President Hoffman announced her resignation in March, and Mr. Churchill's lawyer now negotiates the promised buyout with her successor. "
Didn't Ward Churchill get outed as a non-native?
Ping... Fake indian inbound to Seattle
