DENVER, (AP) -- The president of the University of Colorado has recommended that a professor who likened some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi should be fired, according to the professor and the school.
Ward Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies, has denied the allegations and threatened a lawsuit if he is dismissed.
CU President Hank Brown made the recommendation in a 10-page letter sent to the chair of the committee that handles tenure issues. University spokeswoman Michele McKinney confirmed published reports about the recommendation Monday but said the school would not make the letter public.
The university's governing Board of Regents would have the final say on whether Churchill is fired or disciplined. It could be several weeks before the case ends up in its hands; the tenure panel must review it first.

Pffft...they didn’t have the balls to do it months ago, what’s changed?
To: WKUHilltopper
Right. That’s what I was thinking?!
To: SmithL
It at least sounds like CU President Hank Brown has some guts.

But then he’d have to get a real job.

The University of Colorado demonstrating its high standards...
Churchill is a proven fraud on virtually every front but he’s still there...

Tenure is sort of like a property right.

Well thats a relief. I've offered a $5,000 donation to the U of Colorado School of Engineering (ME) if Ward Churchill is fired without a pension on the grounds of falsifying his resume. I graduated from there in 1960.
Actually....it would be worth every penny to have to make good on my offer!! It would be one leftists Prof down.... 200,000 to go.

He DIDN’T call the WTC victims Little Eichmans?

Fired? He should be shot. (Or at least airdropped into the nastiest neighborhood in Baghdad with a picnic basket full of ham sandwiches and beer.)
But, a hearty hip-hip-hurrah for you, HardStarboard, for putting your money where your heart is!

Why is this taking so long? If it had been a conservative making those comments he would have been run out of town that night.
And who needs an "ethnic studies" department anyway? The discipline has been around for a generation and has only made thing worse.

Badly-written article. He’s not being punished for his vile comments; he’s being punished for plagiarism and academic fraud, and denies having committed either.

"I've got more faith in almost anything (than in the university process)," he said. "A random group of homeless people under a bridge would be far more intellectually sound and principled than anything I've encountered at the university so far."
It appears that the rodomontade professor is making the case for us regarding the state of our universities.
To: SmithL
Ward Churchill is STILL THERE?...
Eventually its IMPOSSIBLE to FIRE a tenured professor..
The Peter principle on crack.. AND Meth... AND Heroin..
