Ward Churchill Update
University of Colorado officials said today a professor's controversial essay comparing some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi is protected by the Constitution, but allegations that he committed plagiarism and that he misrepresented himself as an American Indian will be investigated further.
A faculty committee will examine the claims against Ward Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies. That committee could recommend that he be fired...
Acting CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano said a seven-week examination of Churchill's essay and other work concluded that "while there are limits to the protections afforded by the Constitution, our review has determined that those limits have not been exceeded in professor Churchill's case."

He's a grifter with a good imagination: historian, indian, artist, social commentator, professor. The faculty that accepted him reminds me of an emperor story...something about lack of clothes
