The ethnic studies professor filed a complaint in July saying his First Amendment rights were violated when he was fired for research misconduct. He is seeking reinstatement.
The University of Colorado filed motions Tuesday asking a Denver district judge to dismiss former CU professor Ward Churchill's lawsuit against the school.
Churchill, who taught ethnic studies, filed a complaint in July, charging that the regents and the school violated his First Amendment rights to free speech and denied him due process in his termination.
School officials responded Tuesday, saying the regents have immunity from a lawsuit over their decision to fire Churchill and that school officials have a right to investigate whether a faculty member violated his duties.
"The governing legal framework specifically requires the employer to undertake a reasonable investigation," the motion says.

“We’re in a better position in state court,” O’Rourke said.
This asshole will be a congressman before its over
Attorneys who take these cases should be required to pay the state back for filing frivolous suits hoping for a settlement.
Please, don't be so cynical - while I understand your feeling this way, I believe our country will not bow down to this maniac!
Yup, he’s got “Boulder Democrat” stamped all over him.
couldn’t they get him to leave on his own? schedule him to address a few groups of 9-11 victims’ relatives, real native americans, etc.
Good point. Jesse Jackson is happy that this dude is white.
He has been getting his salary of $100,000 with benefits ( no classes last year ) and he is set to receive another year’s salary as severance.
Ward wants even more money before he joins the lecture tour and marries a rich widow ?
“...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. “

I think he’s cooked.
But there’s at least ten thousand more professors just as bad as he is infesting academia today.
One down, ten thousand to go.
So faking your race to get a scholarship and career advancement, and using your official position at a university to trash terrorism victims is not misconduct?
The liberal education establishment is so f****d-up right now that this blowhard piece of trash probably thinks he is a victim and he'll probably continue to be a professor somewhere even though he's an outright fraud in every way that a person in his profession can be. The university will probably have to dump him. He'll take a leave-of-absence or foreign study fellowship, then surface a year later at another school. The university president is probably calling in favors and buying steak dinners right now to make that happen.
What he's probably doing is throwing up this big white 1st Amendment flag hoping that a skiffy liberal activist judge sees it and grants him a reprieve. As big of a friggin' idiot as he is, I'm sure he didn't think of it himself. His lawyer probably told him to do it.
Like the beer song : 999 bottles of beer on the wall ?
Which ones were those? There's no Constitutional right to plagiarize, misrepresent your ethnicity to get a job, lie about your qualifications and abilities to get/retain a job, steal another's work to 'create' your own in mirror image....what a loser.
What is his point. He’s a liar and has been caught. Does he have dirt on CU? Just wondering.
Ward is looking for extra money.
We have not heard of any hidden dirt. Everything has already hit the fan ?
Please keep us informed on how this comes out.
Will do.
