The University of Colorado professor who likened some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi official has appealed to keep his job as school officials move to fire him for what they say is research misconduct.
Interim Chancellor Philip DeStefano last week said the university should fire ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill; a faculty committee concluded last month that he committed misconduct.
Churchill requested a review Wednesday, the school announced. The process includes a confidential hearing, with the committee's findings forwarded to the school president.
Churchill has vowed to sue if he is fired. The professor penned a 2001 essay that compared white-collar workers at the World Trade Center to Adolf Eichmann, a key planner of the Holocaust. The essay attracted little attention until January 2005, when he was invited to speak at a New York college.
Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and others called for Churchill to be fired. University officials ordered an investigation into his scholarship.
School investigators said that Churchill misrepresented the effects of federal laws on American Indians and that he wrongly claimed evidence indicated Capt. John Smith exposed Indians to smallpox in the 1600s. It also said he committed plagiarism by claiming the work of a Canadian environmental group as his own. Churchill said that the investigation was an attempt to dump him because of outside pressure, and that no professor's work could stand up to such scrutiny.
This country's relentless oppression of fake Indian plagiarists continues unabated.
(Oh, yeah...hasn't happened.)
What's the matter? Has Churchill not received many offers from other universities as he had probably expected?
I'm sure UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley would extend open arms for Wadd to join their faculties..
It's about time this liar, cheater, thief gets his just dos. Fire the SOB...liberal loon...corrupting our kids.
Last sentence in the article: "Churchill said that the investigation was an attempt to dump him because of outside pressure, and that no professor's work could stand up to such scrutiny." this may have more truth in it than at first glance, especially if applied aginst the writings of some of the liberal professors teaching today.
Pretty freggin` pathetic. And how old is this guy now? And here is is still playing Cowboys and Indians.
"Captain, you will play my way or we will not play at all! It is allll your fault! All your fault!"
"Trelane, your parents have just told me they`ve fired you!"
"That`s not fair! That`s not fair! Waaah!"
If Churchill is correct that most professors could not stand up to scrutiny as he has, maybe it's time to look into ALL professors to see who's honest, and who needs to end up on the employment line.
He looks like Janet Reno.
well, at least his TEETH don't look fake.
Yeah, but he brought this attention upon himself which is what he wanted, so they gave him that. Everything about this guy is a fraud, even down to paintings he did and claimed as his own.
There was one painting he did that was publicized a year or so ago that he claimed was an original by him, and it was practically a paint by numbers of another painting by a Native American. They put both of them side by side and it was identical.
Ann Coulter even claimed a few months back all he had was a liberal arts degree. I had Professors just like this putz, I would be sitting in on a lecture hearing the biggest BS you ever heard in your life wondering how the hell this guy even got close to a classroom, and that was 25 years ago. One in particular was an English Professor who claimed an Emily Dickinson poem was written by Elizabeth Browning, and studenst were constantly telling him he was wrong, and he would get furious. This went on for weeks until he was exposed as an fraud and we never saw him again. I don`t even want to think what kind of crap they pass off as Professors now. It`s all based on this clique of liberals...They meet each other at their pot/LSD parties (well now it`s probably GW Bush bashing parties) and the BS flies and next thing you know they`re tenured with nothing more than a High school diploma and a few weeks at your local community college.
Sorry, but once you've put "Churchill" and "Appeals" in the same headline, you've already lost me.
He looks like John Lithgow in "The World According to Garp".
