University of Colorado-Boulder Chancellor G.P. “Bud” Peterson ... the university is also in the process of overhauling its faculty termination procedures following the controversial firing of CU ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill.
Churchill was fired for scholarly misconduct, but is still being paid pending a full review of his actions.
A faculty committee reviewing Churchill’s conduct is expected to make a recommendation to Brown in about two weeks, Peterson said. Then, Brown will make a recommendation to the school’s Board of Regents.
“I don’t think he’ll have to deliberate a terribly long time” over what he’ll recommend to the board, Peterson said of Brown.
The university’s termination policy is being overhauled to stipulate specific deadlines for each step in the termination process, which can take years, Peterson said.
During the scandal, Peterson said university officials briefly re-examined the need for and the value of the school’s ethnic studies department.
But voices in favor of the department and diversity at the school prevailed...

IMO .
Looks like they will keep the dept.
More leftwing insanity.
What is ethnic studies? They study ethnics? Doing what?

He is still cashing his paycheck from the taxpayers...
It is a bunch of pc stuff...
diversity is a liberal term like global warming...
more pc stuff that liberals use against us that means : we win !
Ethics studies? How about patriotism studies? How about recognizing that you are an American university and that the overwhelming majority of your students are Americans? How about simply firing those alleged professors whose every word attacks America and it purpose? How about some serious study of your obligation to prepare American students for an American future? And, as an afterthought, how about getting rid of all of those pathetic 60's leftovers, who haven't yet adjusted to the fall of the Soviet Union?
They should consider an ethics department instead...
The real issue is how the anti-American left funds itself: college and public jobs from which it is nearly impossible to be fired.
If they could even teach, it would be something. I was once told in a CU grad seminar that the French Revolution caused the American Revolution. When I tried to correct the record, I was told to sit down and shut up. If it weren't so sad, it would be funny,
Ward is not teaching any classes yet he still gets his paychecks, benefits...like a long paid vacation.
Ward's going to be on the public payroll (at CU) proably for the rest of his life.
How do you get fired and still get paid. I need to figure that one out.
I know : fired and still getting a pay check...
Tenure rules at the university ?
Churchhill isn't teaching but still being paid? What a deal!
Ward is not teaching any classes yet he still gets his paychecks, benefits...like a long paid vacation.

Sounds like a regular faculty gig to me...
