University panel recommends full investigation of Churchill

DENVER (AP) - A University of Colorado panel recommended a full investigation Friday of research misconduct allegations against a professor who triggered a national outcry for likening some Sept. 11th victimes to a Nazi

The faculty committee called for investigating Ward Churchill on seven allegations involving plagiarism, misuse of others' work and falsification and fabrication, interim provost Susan Avery said.

The committee recommended dropping two other allegations, that Churchill falsely claimed to be an American Indian and that he infringed on a copyright.

Churchill and his attorney did not immediately return phone messages.

For cryin out loud, I thought that's what they had been doing all this time.
