CU Faculty Circle The Wagons

In support of Ward (Cleaver) Churchill the faculty of CU is taking out a full page ad in The Boulder Daily Camera callng for the the school to drop the inquiry into his writings.

It says the review of the ethnic studies professor expected to be concluded by
the middle of March, should be stopped immediately. The ad says the inquiry is
the result of political pressure and not based on "any prior formal complaint of
of specific professional or academic misconduct on his part."
The faculty must be too busy working on next day lesson propaganda to read the papers. Churchill lied about his Indian heritage on his resume, a heritage which was instumental in securing his position at the University. In addition, he has written bogus essays using fraudulent references to support his untenable positions, aka academic fraud. Documented cases of assaultive behavior have also been uncovered.

Any of these infractions alone would be considered very serious, but collectively they are unquestionably grounds for immediate dismissal. As much as the CU faculty would like you to believe it, academia and tenure do not insulate a person from all consequence. Churchill has betrayed all things that serious educators supposedly hold dear yet they defend him. This behavior betrays their true concerns, these being aggressively protecting tenured faculty from any and all inquiry and scrutiny regardless of the cause.

Update: Now documented allegations of plagiarism
