WHY has Gov. Owens NOT called in the FBI to Investigate WHY
this University has Failed to check the credentials of those it hires. In 1980 Churchill filed a resume that should
have been checked. in 1994 real Indians protested to the University about Churchill and were suppressed. He has LIED about his supposed ancestry, and about his military service and training,and is a plagarist WHY has Nobody called the FBI to help the Regents do their job?

This guy has been getting by for years on one 'factoid' --that he is Big Chief Running Fraud.

If you investigated the credentials of of the profs at any American university you'd have a blood bath. For starters, every "___________ Studies" program would be gutted.

Fire him, if he dares to sue all this stuff will come out in court. This is classic cowardice by Academia.

Churchill's beginning to stink like a rotten fist out in the sun for several days. What's most interesting is how he was hired and given tenure. Owens ought to be seriously investigating the people who made such bad decisions. The scandal goes well beyond Churchill to the entire academic establsihment that hired him and tenured him.

Chruchill was one of two "Native Americans" interviewed for the position at CU. The real Native American who did not get the job may have a heck of a case.

AMEN to that!

It really chaps me that there is even such a thing as "____ studies."

When I got my degree, a guy from the Sociology department was also receiving his. He seemed like a nice enough chap. I can't recall his name, but he was obviously Indian - long hair, beads, the whole bit. His dissertation was about the special problems that Native Americans face. I do not know the extent to which his own Navajo heritage carried weight in that field, but subsequent experience convinces me that it must have been considerable. How bogus! Scholars are supposed to be objective, but in "____ studies," one's own personal experience as a member of the ___ group is usually if not always used as the final authority to silence inconvenient dissenters.

Churchill's case should underline the fact that when somebody with a Master's from an institution other than a major research university can be full professor in a field because "he are one," that the field is itself bogus. Churchill has obviously traded on his non-existent status as a Native American to succeed. Try doing that in a real field of academic endeavor.

I cannot imagine the rage that Native Americans are probably now feeling toward Professor Fraud Churchill. If so, I cannot blame them. They have been exploited too much.

So...sees honest hard-working Americans as Nazis...claims to be an Indian and isn't...and it turns out he's a plagarist. The hits just keep on coming.

Quite possibly what would be in th eBESt interest of the
Republic--I would think.Don't have much use for the College boys and girls who think that piece of paper
means they are better than others.

LaVelle's criticism says Churchill invents or distorts facts, a claim repeated by other scholars.

That is seriously okay for lefties. Remember from their standpoint, it was okay that CBS aired forged memos because the false documents showed what CBS claimed was the "truth".

"He's impeccable on his sources and known for his empirical and archival-based methodologies," Arturo Aldama, a professor with Churchill in the CU ethnic-studies department told the Post. "Whether you agree with it or not, it's always been praised for academic rigor. He has 400 footnotes per chapter."

I could put in 1,400 footnotes per chapter, but that wouldn't make me a rigorous scholar if I'm penning garbage.

That would definitely count as plagiarism in one of my classes. No question about it.

This is just one paragraph; I wonder how often and widely he does this sort of thing? If this is typical of what he does, then he's definitely toast.
