You'll notice that Kirk Johnson of the NYT does not address the fact of Churchill lying about his own ethnicity in order to get this affirmative-action job at CU in the first place. That's the larger issue that splats egg on the face of the university.

It takes more than long hair, sunglasses and maybe a beaded headband to turn an English-Swiss-German into am American Indian!

I read a copy of Churchill's resume posted here at FR. His academic credentials are shabby, at best, and they would not have been sufficient for him to even get a job in academe, let alone tenure. His biggest claim to relevance on his resume is that of being an American Indian, which should not have been used in place of scholarly achievements by those who hired him. Now, of course, even that has proven to be false and he'll likely be fired for fraud. IMHO, those who hired him should be terminated as well.
