They'd better be careful, or every student who applies for admission is going to check the box marked "Native American" or "African American." Then how will they know whom to give the full scholarships to?
That's the money line in the whole article. Do UC-B's genetics & anthropology profs subscribe to this "theory"? If so, poor UC-B has a lot more problems than some middle aged whitie playing dress-up as an Indian with a bad case of rabies. I'll say it again, the people who need to be fired by the people of Colorado are the idiots who hired, promoted & continue to defend this frothing-at-the-mouth lunatic at the expense of the reputation of their institution.A UC-B degree is a joke now - literally! Just check out all the "How many UC-B grads does it take to set up a tepee" type of stuff making the e-mail rounds these days. Should Coloradans blame the sociopathic nutjob living in an infantile fantasy world, or should they blame the spectacularly incompetent fools who hired him and turned a blind eye to his diploma-mill credentials, his bogus claims of minority status,the blatant plagiarism of his peers, falsified research citations & all the other blazing red flags that this guy wasn't qualified to teach at a Sylvan Learning Center, let alone at a presumably legitimate university with any aspirations at all for academic prestige?They are the ones ultimately responsible for bringing such discredit to the state of Colorado's entire university system.They should be tossed out on their self-proving a**es.
