A News investigation of the charges before a CU panel reveals strong evidence of possible misconduct by the professor ...

Shadows of doubt
A News investigation finds problems in all four major areas before CU panel.
The charge: Fabrication
The charge: Plagiarism
Did Churchill commit plagiarism by publishing the work of others as his own?
Our findings: An essay he "prepared" for a book was actually taken from a Canadian scholar.
The charge: Mischaracterization :
Did Churchill mischaracterize two important pieces of federal Indian law?
The charge: Misrepresentation
Are Churchill's claims of American Indian ancestry valid?
Our findings: His assertions that he is descended from Cherokee and Creek ancestors aren't supported by extensive genealogical records.

Churchill was very careful in his debate with David Horowitz today. It took a while, but Horowitz did find the holes in his words.
Hannity and Colmes had him on the show tonight 4-6-06. I tried to put this nice three times and erased it. Just can't think how intimitated our children must be in his classroom. What can we do to stop this absolute crazy talk this man says?
Ward says "that he does not work for the taxpayers..."
I say, fine, Quit taking the taxpayers' money and move far away.
Saw him on H&C tonight he is disgusting.
The University professors took out ads and held marches for this Plagiarist.
It really tells alot about the sad state of our education system.
I thought he was a fraud, but after tonites appearance on Hannity and Colmes, I am ready to concede that he may have some Indian blood in him.
A white man would not use as much bear grease in his hair.
The quality of our school system is terrible.
Students from India, Japan, China...will be the real competition for the next generation.
Yup. A double standard. The profs can be lying cheats but not the students.
No, I am not justifying the students cheating. That would be Churchill's rationalization. :)
"...Ward Churchill would do himself some good to express a profound apology to people he has offended and misled.
He should also come clean about his appropriated American Indian identity. "

That Churchill guy shouldn't be teaching anyone.
Increase Mail's piece by 109%, reverse it, and the two overlap perfectly, down to the shape of the grass and the position of each rider's feathers, even the position of the horses' legs.Yet Churchill still maintains it is an original composition.(Yes, Ward, but why are all your Indians left-handed in the piece?)
Oh, but it is so much fun to see him make an idiot of himself.
On the other hand, he really hurt people who lost loved ones on 9-11 and has no regrets.
Here's hoping, but this is the People's Republik of Boulder we're discussing here. Boulder serves one useful purpose... to concentrate Colorado's liberals into a single congressional district.
I know. I live just outside Boulder county. It is pretty bad.
One thing in our favor -- mainstream Liberals like others to think they are legit.
Ward Churchill is a pathetic liar. And he is a very violent man from what I've heard. This guy seems to crave attention. He's a modern day Stepandfetchit:
Would you like me if I toldcha I'm 1/8 Indian?
Notice Churchill won't go in for DNA testing. Most people who hate who they are often pretend they are something else.

Ward Churchill is the Arch Phony of the "Ethnic Studies" "Movement"; adherents to a mish-mosh of airy-fairy, brainless maunderings catalogued by its advocates as an academic "discipline" - which is nothing more nor less than the collective fantasy of hyphenated Americans' as a litany of fancied pseudo-grievances over imagined slights received at the hands of "mainstream America." These pathetic anti-intellectuals should all spend a good, long stretch of time in some little Third World crap hole, staying until they're able to comprehend what a great life they have here. As a condition for their return, they should be ready to spare the rest of us their brainless babblings, stop wasting taxpayer money in the sad excuses for universities which employ them and at which they spew their poisonous venom, and STFU.
I wondered if anyone else saw this too. His boby language and mannerisms during Hannity's interview was incredibly telling.
I kept thinking, this man is going to explode, he's definetly not tolerant.
" ...Churchill admitted that he had briefly taught bomb making to the Weather Underground (a domestic terrorist group). "
" Pacifism as Pathology, in which he explicitly urges his audience to perpetrate more 9/11-type attacks in the United States."
" former Churchill students who allege that their grades were reduced because of personal or political retaliation. "
"Churchill telling an audience to help Hawaiian natives by breaking the kneecaps of tourists in Hawaii. "
University of Colorado officials received repeated complaints about Ward Churchill's demeanor and temper, beginning two years before he was granted a tenured faculty position despite never going through the normal review.
Retired university administrator and journalism professor Joanne Easley Arnold said she received a call from Churchill in 1989 during a controversy over the naming of a dormitory on campus. She was trying to get the dorm named for a former director of student housing. Churchill, not yet a professor, was pushing to have it named for the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.
"He suggested I should back off my proposal and if I didn't, I would get hurt," Arnold said after she was contacted by The Denver Post. "I was shocked, and that's why my dean heard about it."
Three years after receiving tenure, Churchill was again accused of inappropriate behavior.
In April 1994, two women wrote Charles Middleton, then dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, about a March 28 incident outside the San Francisco Press Club involving Churchill and his wife at the time, Marie Jaimes.
"Carol Standing Elk was leaving the Press Club when Marie Annette Jaimes brutally attacked and injured her," Deborah J. Cruze wrote in a letter to Middleton in Churchill's file. "Then, as Ms. Standing Elk was trying to recover from the attack, she was spit on by Ward Churchill."
"Maybe she needed to be physically attacked," he said. " ... Maybe she needed to be spit on."
