The fault lies, generally, with the sick academic culture in which he has thrived, and, specifically, with the administrative weasels at the University of Colorado who have repeatedly rewarded his dubious critical achievements. What should be done with Churchill, therefore, is...nothing. His notoriety should stand as an ongoing monument to the decay of intellectual standards in higher education, and his professorship as an ongoing monument to the intellectual cowardice of the school which hired and tenured him.

Exactly. Ward Churchill is a fraud. Ward Churchill is symbolic of the results of not only the "intellectual" standards of higher education to which all liberal organizations (including the National Education Association), would hold its students, the sick academic culture includes elementary and high schools. When you fill kids up with fallacies for 16 years, you produce frauds. Parents can only do so much to combat the subtle and not-so-subtle brainwashing that begins when children are very young...by the time they're in college, those earlier planted seeds have taken root. All that's necessary by the time they reach college is the liberal professors that are given the green light by the administrative weasels at the universities.

You hate the idea of federal control. But the federal govt is already so involved in higher ed. I can see where things could change 180 degrees if Congress would withhold fed funds (pell grants, scholarship, loan money) unless a university has in place a plan to increase academic diversity.
