Churchill must go (Ward Churchill)

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN ^ | June 18, 2006

[AmericanMade1776]

WARD CHURCHILL, the ethnic studies professor notorious for defaming victims of the 9/11 attacks on America, should be fired by the University of Colorado for gross academic misconduct.

That's the recommendation of CU's research misconduct committee - and we heartily concur. The committee agreed with an earlier investigative panel that Mr. Churchill intentionally falsified his research, plagiarized other people's work and was ghostwriter of articles he later cited as "outside" sources.

Now that two academic peer groups have come to essentially the same conclusion, a final recommendation will be forwarded by the provost and a dean to interim CU-Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano.

Mr. Churchill exposed himself to close scrutiny by calling those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks "little Eichmanns," a slur comparing them to Adolf Eichmann, a mastermind of Nazi Germany's campaign of genocide in World War II.

“The ball's in their court,” Churchill added."

I think Churchill is safe on that score...
There is a shortage of balls in the CU administration..

Semper Fi

"He also said the committee lacked the academic background to effectively evaluate his research, noting that it is “difficult to apprehend error in reports because you need to be familiar with the subject matter”

Hmm...so exactly how does one go about retrieving information from last month's smoke signals?

[chesley]

I hope he sues the pants off them. Or tries to. And they get him on the witness stand and ask about his "research" and his "qualifications", and, yes, about his true ethnicity.

And I hope Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly broadcasts it for all to see. Liberals need a liberal dose of public humiliation to cure them of their maliciousness, falsity, and wrongheadedness.

And if that doesn't work, well, do it again. It's schadenfreude, baby.

It's about time the academics woke up. Churchill is a plagiarizer and I would bet his academic credentials are fakes too if they would seriously check. The PhD crowd is very much like a fraternity and other than the sin of plagiarism you can get a pass on most other things. The fact that he is not an enrolled member of any Indian tribe and I'm certain could not show a genealogy that would give him even honorary Indian status is another one of Mr. Churchill's issues that are being ignored.

Ward Churchill is the poster boy for US Academia.

If the man's a plagiarist, why is he still holding his job?

Dont get mad, get even. Just e-mail the CU's board of regents at the link below and tell them what u think. Also, it wouldnt hurt to threaten to NEVER, EVER send your kids to college there. Like THAT would happen anyway.

"We are drawn to the irresistible conclusion that Professor Churchill is unable, or at least unwilling, to acknowledge legitimate critiques," found CU's Standing Committee on Research Misconduct.

This is just the kinda man they're looking for at CBS.

[Fielding]

Thank you River Rat!! An astute observation. Good for a hearty belly laugh.:)

[Surtur]

If they don't dismiss him, then every student who was ever disciplined for plagiarism will have a legitimate grievance against the school. Furthermore, every one of his students should turn in the same paper, one guaranteed to be an A paper, and dare the University to do something about it. Nail the cowardly b@st@rds to the wall with their own hammer.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

can't we just tell John Hinckley that Ward Churchill is dating Jodie Foster or something?

(nice name by the way.)

[LeoWindhorse]

maybe Churchill can get a job as a Dime Store wooden Indian .
ooops! probably not since he ain't even an Indian....

He'll never be fired. Boulder is to Colorado what San Francisco is to California - a den of liberals.
