UColorado President Recommends Ward Churchill Be Fired
2007-05-30
Compiled from other sources as well
University of Colorado president in a letter of a school tenute committee has recommended leftist faux Indian professor Ward Churchill be fired, according to the Associated Press. Citing problems with Churchill's research activities, Hank Brown sent a ten page letter to the committee. The letter has not been publically released, but the recommendation has been confirmed by university officials, according to the AP.

Currently AP and other sources make mention of Churchill's post-911 remark that the workers in the World Trade Center were "Little Eichmanns" who deserved to be attacked by hostile Islamists. In the intervening time revelations have surfaced which questioned Churchill's research, including charges of plagerism, likely center to the issues which led to the termination recommendations. Churchill also suffers from a number of other apparent credibility problems including his education and his ethnicity. Churchill is the head of the Native American studies program at Colorado, but has not shown any definitive proof of his professed Indian heritage.

According to news reports, Churchill has ten days to appeal the recommendation.
The AP reports the university regents will have the final say as to Churchill's final disposition.
