Now, an academic institution is completely justified in waiving the rules for someone famous and who has accomplishments as a scholar, researcher, explorer, or entrepreneur in the non-academic world. Such a person would onbviously enrich a university and its students in ways that can't be measured by the mere possession of a degree. Ward Churchill is none of the above. And its a mystery how the rules were waived for a complete non-entity like him.
