This was my thought also.
Resignation was a victory for the truth. On the other hand the war is not over until the enemy has surrendered or been "defeated in detail".
Does anyone have a link to the, once-"prestigous" Bancroft prize committee? A good Freeping and they might do something.
If anyone does write, remember these are scholars, even if they are liberals. Spell-check your message, be sure to spell Bellesiles correctly, and don't flame. Just point out that their prize has lost a great deal of luster if they allow him to keep it for fraudulent work.

MAYBE NOT (BELLESILES CHRONICLES) [Melissa Seckora] Eric Foner, a Columbia University history professor, and chairman of Columbia's 2002 Bancroft Prize Committee, says that the Bancroft has never been revoked, and that he's not sure that Roger Lane is right when he says Columbia is considering taking back Bellesiles's. "I've heard nothing about Columbia rescinding the prize. The University's trustees would have to do it, not the Bancroft Committee." Foner, who was critical of Doris Kearns Goodwin and Stephen Ambrose when their plagiarism charges were in the news, says he is agnostic on the Bellesiles case: "I haven't made up my mind. The problem is that I'm not in a position to know--I'm not an expert in the use of probate inventories."
