Excellent point Vatar. I’d add that the degrees he does have are in “communications” which further calls into question his fitness for being an ethnic studies professor (whatever that is) in the first place…

Not only was he tenured, but he was chairman of the Ethnic Studies department, with no PhD.

I have been aware of Ward Churchill ever since he referred to me, my co-workers, and tenants at the World Trade Center as having been “little Eichmanns”; I guess he meant deserving death. This guy is a fraud, but a clever one. He knew what academic buttons to push. They need a Native American studies professor? Presto! He’s a Keetowah Band of Cherokee member. They want a Vietnam vet, all of a sudden this guy who was assigned to the motor pool and was a movie projectionist becomes a paratrooper and a sniper. He didn’t have a PhD which is required generally in hiring History Profs, but I guess his long hair, feathers and beads gave him a pass. I’m sure he has a following among the young blame America for all the ills of the Earth crowd, but that’s it.

Don’t you love how the AP makes it seem as though Churchill was fired because of his remarks, as if his firing was a free speech, academic freedom issue?

You’re right – he’s probably hoping for a settlement. Hopefully, CU won’t back down from him. Churchill hates the U.S. so much he saw fit and necessary to go so far as to fabricate evidence in support of his ludicrous and unsubstantiated views – views that may not have gotten a hearing in the first place at such an institution as CU (without, mind you, the proper credential of a Doctorate degree) had he not falsified his own ethnic identity. The evidence is egregious and overwhelming.
