The interim chancellor of the University of Colorado at Boulder plans to announce at 2 p.m. today whether CU will fire ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill.

I sent the U of Colo a letter last year during the high Churchill hoopla to the effect that my money and my child will NOT be even thinking about attending U of Colo until this fraud is GONE!
