#4  .Com- I don't think "scholar" is correct.

"I do not work for the taxpayers of Colorado, and I don't work for Bill Owens. I work for you," Churchill told the audience.

One can infer the taxpayers of Colorado need not be obliged to pay his $98K salary, right?

#2  At first I thought this story was a sad joke by some LLL Prof trying to make a name. After hearing his follow-up and from his little minions (students) I am appalled that he was teaching for this long. Not only does he believe that the U.S. represents the modern model of the Nazi party, he instills this belief in his students. I heard two of his students on the radio parrot the exact same line several times during an interview.
The Nazi and Communists used to call this indoctrination and these two sounded every bit like a “Manchurian Candidate.” Now when pressed for specifics on the “Nazi-like” U.S. policy they grabbed at many straws and then settled on the cease-fire agreement of the first Gulf War. That is because “over 2,000,000 Iraqis died because of our policy.” This really degrades the horrors that were the Nazis and only works on people who can’t tell the difference.
The sad part is we (U.S. tax payers) are paying for at least one of these lifetime students with student loans and grants. I guess it’s ok to take money from the evil government for your personal education and that somehow makes it clean. Of course one these yahoos had big plans after his graduation with a degree in Ethnic Studies (after FIVE years): Employment? No. He plans to move to NYC where his girlfriend is getting a job as a schoolteacher and become a graduate student in ‘Ethnic Studies’ and become an ‘Activist’. That is he will not be joining the workforce and attempting to pay back Uncle Sam for financing his “education.”
Fact is that other than teaching (Ethnic Studies) there are no employment opportunities for people getting these ‘prestigious’ Ethnic Studies degrees. So Ward Churchill is a product of our goofy higher education system that devotes entirely too many resources toward a blatant social experiment. The only way to cure this is too do away with these departments entirely. These departments serve no useful purpose, other than to hold high paying positions for the most strident American Hating LLL. If they eliminated these departments tomorrow it would be no significant loss to the academic world. Remember this next time your State universities cry poverty and want to raise your taxes.

P.S. If your worried about the Professors, I bet they find a nice part of main street to walk back in forth with their sandwich boards calling for the end of “U.S. Imperialism.”

#1  "Churchill has resigned as chairman of the university's ethnic studies department but has threatened to sue the school if he is fired."

Sorry, Mr. Fraud Not-Worthy-of-the-Name-Churchill. Unless you get the Ninth Circus Court you're krutzed.

"Churchill said he felt sorrow for 'the firefighters, food service workers, broom pushers and passersby' who died in the Sept. 11 attacks."

Except insofar as he views them as "little Eichmanns"
