Embattled Colorado Professor Files Complaint Against Texas Detractor
Published: Jun 9, 2005 BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, whose essay comparing some Sept. 11 victims to Nazis led to an investigation into his scholarship and ethnicity, has filed a complaint against one of his accusers.
Churchill's complaint to Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, accuses assistant sociology professor Thomas Brown of academic misconduct. Brown has alleged Churchill fabricated crucial details in his argument that the Army committed genocide against Indians in the 1800s.
In an e-mail to The Denver Post Wednesday, Brown said Churchill was attempting to block him from submitting a more detailed analysis of Churchill's work.
Churchill ignited a controversy when he compared some victims in the World Trade Center to Adolf Eichmann, who orchestrated the Holocaust. University officials concluded he could not be fired for the comments, but they launched an investigation into allegations that he plagiarized or fabricated research and lied about being an American Indian.
Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies, has denied the charges. A CU faculty committee is reviewing the charges and could recommend that he be fired.
His attorney, David Lane, confirmed that Churchill filed a complaint against Brown but denied it was an attempt to silence him.
A Lamar University spokesman said administrators were reviewing Churchill's complaint to decide whether it warrants an investigation. They have not released a copy of the complaint.

Don't you just LOVE when a "radical..anti -establishment" Leftist, hires a high priced lawyer and uses the legal system of the military-industrail complex? The irony befuddles even my fine canine, Lola, who said to me, "WHAT?"
Can somebody photoshop up a pic of Ward Churchill in a Burger King uniform?
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Liberals never cease to amaze me.
God I wish Ward Churchill would just go back to the reservation(if anyone will take him) and then SHUT UP !
Academic misconduct? This lying sack of s--- is accusing someone of academic misconduct! There is no depth to which some will descend.

He wouldn't last 2 hours at Burger King. It's the private sector -- they expect results!

Scratch that idea. Better to photoshop WC w/ a 'Will Lie For Food' sign in a Home Depot parking lot. With his attitude, Churchill wouldn't last the day at BK. Either he'd get fired for being nasty to the customers or a customer would go postal on him.
Back to his old tricks of intimidation. Let's hope Brown doesn't stop looking into Churchill's scholarship.
A bum has no shame, these actions don't surprise me.
I was thinking along those lines...
Your both right. He wouldn't last five minutes.
What does a "liberal" have to do get fired?
Besides the fact that most leftist loons WANT 2 get fired so they can file lawsuits and win damages....
If it weren't so tragic it would've been funny
"God I wish Ward Churchill would just go back to the reservation(if anyone will take him) and then SHUT UP !"
I believe that the "reservation" for his kind ain't no tribal land. It's called "the trailer park".
The Lamar mascot was a Cardinal--and we actually called the college "Pecker Tech".--LOL! (I can't believe I just typed that.)
Anyway, I'm glad that the Lamar prof is doing this--I would love it if he were instrumental in bringing WC down.
Anyone who has followed all the misconduct Churchill has committed can only be totally amazed that he is not fired YET !!!!
The tenured professor "industry" is such a scam if guys like Churchill can not be fired.
the more i think about it, the less i like the ap headline:
"detractor" is a negative word.
in actuality, the texas "detractor" is a scholar who is debunking churchill.
churchill is the negative person.
One thing liberals are good at is living off the system they are trying to destroy. They know how to get all the government grants and bennys, where the freebies are hidden, etc. We accuse them of pandering to the minorities, and they do for votes, but much of what they sneak under the tent is for themselves.
