Churchill buyout near

Denver Post ^ | 3/11/05 | Dave Curtin

[freespirited]

Fitting news from academia--the place that can be most depended upon to berate us about corporate America's lack of ethics and principles.

[Interesting Times]

This is obscene.

[AaronInCarolina]

But in addition to the money, Churchill wants to make sure his reputation isn't impugned as he leaves CU...

Too late. That horse has left the barn.

[Rummyfan]

Fire him for lying on his resume and plagiarism. If he wants to sue, let him.

[tallhappy]

So Churchill comes out much wealthier and more well known than before.

[Brilliant]

I can't believe they are paying this guy a dime. If tenure is that difficult to get around, then something needs to change. The man is a liar, a fraud, and a plagiarer. What more do they need to simply show him the door?

[aspiring.hillbilly]

Barf alert....he should be thown out on his ratty asss and no money, none, zero, your fired bitch!

[TheForceOfOne]

Where will the payoff money come from? The tax payers?

[KC_Conspirator]

I'll say it agian. CU is a joke and if I see any resumes with that college on it come across my desk, its going right in the trash.

This is like the Italians negotiating with the terrorists. The money they give to Churchill will only be used to fund anti-American activities here at home. That is, if it doesn't go DIRECTLY to terrorists.

But, since apparently he sold dope to the administration personnel years ago, they can't boot him out on his fake indian butt. I don't know if the charge is true, but is a plausible explanation for the president of the university, a woman about Churchill's age, resigning.

[Dark Skies]

Churchill wants to make sure his reputation isn't impugned as he leaves...

Impugning his reputation as a nazi, a liar, a terrorist sympathizer, and all-round scumbag? Any change would have to be an improvement!

[chimera]

I don't see why they just don't do the right thing and give this clown the gate. From what's come out, there is more than sufficient evidence to fire him for cause. And I'm not talking about his controversial statements, although, as a representative of his University, those have brought disrepute upon his institution, it is up to his employer to decide if those constitute grounds for dismissal (in most jobs it would). But I am talking about plagiarism, dishonesty, and hack scholarship.

[LYSandra]

I didn't think we negotiated with terrorists!

[rhombus]

But in addition to the money...

I guess he likes capitalism after all.

[Snardius]

So Churchill comes out much wealthier and more well known than before.

When G*d wants to punish someone, He makes them famous first...

[TChris]

If DU alumni ever needed a reason not to donate to the school, this has to be it. Your $$ will go to pay off leftist wackos who should never have been hired to begin with!

[nikos1121]

They shouldn't give him one thin dime..

[gridlock]

The University of Colorado should immediately re-negotiate all faculty contracts to eliminate tenure. I'm sure there would be much hollering in the hollowed halls of academia, but at the end of the day, the professors would still sign the contract and take the money. Tenure puts the people at too much of a disadvantage, and should not be acceptable at a public university. The Regents have a fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers of Colorado, that they are completely ignoring by accepting employment contracts that give away the store.

[Snardius]

I don't see why they just don't do the right thing and give this clown the gate.

Once again I must rise to the defense of comedic entertainers everywhere. Using the term "clown" as a pejorative is wrong and unfair to those of us who regard clowning as a noble, therapeutic career path (except during history class and at the dinner table when the goal is to get your little sister in trouble).

Please be more sensitive to the more demonstrably witty among us.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

This piece of work got himself into academics to hide between the phrase "free speech" in order to promote treason and then he's paid off rather than shoved off. He'll use the money to promote more anarchy and more treason.
