Nope. You can get away with a Masters' at a community college but for tenured work at a four year academic institution - a Ph.D is a must. I've never heard of someone being hired as professor who didn't have one or wasn't in the process of completing the Ph.D requirements. Ward Churchill's case is extremely unusual to say the least. He's more of a political activist than a serious scholar.

Now I am wondering, whether he has a Master's or whether he has even a college degree. They don't say that he does.

One would think, they would say, he holds a BS in from U of ... and a MS in ... from ..., but NOTHING.
Look at this little excerpt:

"Beginning in the late 1970s, Churchill was a teacher and administrator in programs that provided tutoring, counseling and other support for minority students. He later lectured on Indian topics in the ethnic studies program, which later became the ethnic studies department."

He wasn't even a "real teacher".

Yep--want to see the U of C faculty now turn on Churchill--no Ph.D and a bogus review period will help that a lot.

All those who did present necessary credentials and who did get vetted at multiple levles of reviews for tenure will not appreciate this one bit.
