CU billing Churchill up to $50,000 in legal expenses

Ward Churchill could find himself on the hook for up to $50,000 in out-of-pocket costs the University of Colorado incurred fighting the lawsuit the former ethnic studies professor filed against it, CU's lead attorney said Wednesday.

CU attorney Patrick O'Rourke said he plans to file for recovery of those costs -- which include flying witnesses in and out of Colorado and creating deposition transcripts -- over the next 15 days and said the amount would be in the "five figures" and likely just shy of $50,000.

"We've got to go through and add it up -- it's not a staggering number," .

O'Rourke said the final figure, which would have to be approved by Chief Denver District Judge Larry Naves, would be billed straight to Churchill.

Meanwhile, Palin’s legal expenses have reportedly topped half a million bucks, and that’s just fine and dandy.

Good deal...GO GET ‘EM, C.U.! Clean his financial clock!

I despise communists who use our CAPITALIST society to bring riches upon themselves while @ the same time are working to destroy it for everyone else.

Sarah Palin piled up 500k in a few months, so where is the outrage.

Isn’t that what communists always do? Cuts down on the competition for their state approved companies.

Some of those comments are beautiful, the moonbats really have their panties in a wad.

Ward Churchill smiles during the break before jury instructions are going to be hashed out during civil suit against the University of Colorado at the City and County Building in Denver, Colorado March 31, 2009. Churchill is suing the University of Colorado for wrongful termination. CAMERA/Mark Leffingwell

I wonder if the Faux Indian is still smiling, that money he will owe is money he probably doesn't have. Kinda like maxing out several credit cards after a rich relative dies and then being left out of the will. If anyone deserves it the faux professor does.

My guess is, and I hope I’m wrong, that CO does not have a loser pays provision. I hope there is another avenue to go after this jerk.

Apparently, CU may collect their expenses but not the actual lawyer fees.

Ward’s lawyer apparently thinks that he is worth $400 per hour.

He was planning to get paid by CU.

Oh, well.
