I think the professors did condemn the practices, in strong terms, in the report.

Although, come to think of it, it was pretty narrow. It didn't address the fraudulent nature of the Indian blood claims, for example.

Churchill should be fired. He'll never resign.

Do you know how popular he is with students? His classes are probably good entertainment. And I'll bet his grading's really easy for anyone who agrees with him(*). He'll even write your paper for you if you don't want to do it!

(*) Anyone who disagrees with him would be a complete idiot to take his course, but you know and I know that, and I'm sure students know too.

" When one of his students, a Mandan-Hidatsa Indian, wrote a piece raising doubts about his claimed biography, he dropped her grade from an A to a C-minus."

There were hundreds of fellow professors who took out large newspaper ads and marched in support of Ward, earlier.

These fellow travelers are now silent.

Now is the time to speak up. They should ask Ward, for the good of the University and for the good of academia, to resign. Unless, these fellow travelers also practice plagiarism, etc.

Of course, Ward will never resign and admit to being a fraud.

It is not enough that a small handful note Ward's corruption.

Where is the outrage ?

Ward is just the tip of the iceberg. The problems below Ward are huge.
