Fight Not Over: Churchill Sues CU Professor Compared 9-11 Victims To Nazis

POSTED: 9:34 pm EDT July 24, 2007 UPDATED: 2:14 pm EDT July 25, 2007 BOULDER, Colo. -- Just when you thought the saga between Ward Churchill and the University of Colorado was over, it's not.

The CU professor is challenging his dismissal from the university and it could take another year before a jury hears the case.

"I am going nowhere," Churchill said Tuesday after university regents voted 8-1 to dismiss him.

The regents said that they fired the ethnic studies professor on grounds of academic misconduct and plagiarism. The university said he is not being fired for his volatile speech about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Churchill's essay, titled "Some People Push Back: On Justice Of Roosting Chickens," compared some of the victims of the World Trade Center to Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who helped orchestrate the Holocaust. That comparison sparked a national outrage and forced school officials to closely scrutinize Churchill's academic writings, research, and even his ethnicity.

Churchill's lawyer said they are "now on offense" and he will electronically file a First Amendment retaliation lawsuit on Wednesday. Attorney David Lane said this is an amendment to a pending lawsuit that Churchill had filed in October 2006 over a salary dispute.

Not much of a surprise. When has a liberal ever admitted their own bad deeds, except for Clinton when he didn’t know the outcome of the DNA test on the blue dress and had to fess up.

Perhaps he can join the “Cindy Sheehan for House” Campaign as her speech writer?

I’m thinking the translation is Cha-Ching!

Those UC sissy boys will pay mucho mucho to get rid of this guy. Such a transparent loser...whoever gave him a job, whoever kept him on, whoever defended his lies should be fired, too.

Waahh! Too bad, Ed Ward Oh...Actions have consequences and it’s about time this loser and other liberal nutcases figured it out. I am sick of these idiots trying to run our institutions, media, gov’t and think that we’re just going to sit there and take it.

He is just another Liberal looser that cannot take his punishment like a man. He is the victim; he was wronged; only his views count. LOSER IS WHAT HE IS.

No he is not a Liberal loser. He’s being “Dixie-Chicked”. Just ask Bill Maher...

Last night his lawyer referred to the “fascists” running UC Boulder. I laughed for a couple of minutes. That place is like berkely with more drugs and hippies.

I’ve been in higher education for over 30 years. I know the walk and the talk. He does it well but unfortunately for him its not pantomime. He is toast. Game over.

Just do not pay him, give him office space, classroom space, or a parking space.

And take away his Red stapler.

“I am going nowhere,” Churchill said, “until I give the keynote address at the DNC Convention.”

he will lose.......

I think so too. Given how reluctant courts have been to intervene in tenure decisions, it's hard to believe that they will see any merit to his claim that he wasn't really fired for his obvious plagiarism and fabrication of "facts."

I sure hope he’s going “nowhere”. For now, though, I’ll bet he can see “nowhere” from where he’s sitting.

Putz.

‘maybe they could change the lock on his former office door. that might help.”

No, you bring him in for an exit interview and cover with him the residual benefits he still has as a former employee. Then, you retrieve his badge and have him escorted out. The next step, if not already done, is to deactiviate all of his door entry cards, delete all of his IT clearances and notify campus security that he is no longer employed and not grated entrance onto campus grounds.
This is the firm but dignified manner in which a fired employee is dealt with in the real world.

“I am going nowhere”

Churchill has lied before. This statement coming from him doesn’t surprise me.

Is CU a private or state university? If it isn’t state-owned, there can be no 1st Amendment issue as private entities aren’t obligated under the 1st Amendment to give anyone free speech.

He may have an Equal Protection case if the regents haven’t applied a uniform standard. Otherwise he will lose since his 1st Amendment claim is without merit.
