Panel: Churchill should be fired
Ward Churchill, the phony Indian professor who called some of the World Trade Center victims "little Eichmanns," should be fired because of "repeated and deliberate" infractions of scholarship rules, a University of Colorado committee said today.

The recommendation, which came on a 6-3 vote, now goes to university officials for a final decision. Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies who has vowed to fight his dismissal with a lawsuit, "has committed serious, repeated, and deliberate research misconduct," the school's Standing Committee on Research Misconduct said in its final report. But in what appeared to be an acknowledgment of the political pressure placed on the university to fire Churchill, the report asked school officials to reassure other faculty members that CU still values academic freedom.
I can say with certainty that if I had committed plagiarism and misconduct that was 10% of what Mr. Churchill did, I'd be gone from my present position within an hour.
Churchill has repeatedly denied misconduct and he did so again today. "Baloney. That's my one-word-response," he said. "The basic situation here is there was a call ... for my termination clear back last February, whether or not it was legal. They're willing to take the heat and go to court if necessary and stand behind an illegitimate investigation."
