Colorado Daily: Student voice says fire Churchill.
The University of Colorado Student Union has passed a resolution supporting the university administration's decision to fire controversial ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill.
In early 2005, Churchill became embroiled in controversy over an essay calling some Sept. 11 victims “technocrats” and comparing them to an infamous architect of Nazi policy.
Later that year, CU formed an investigative committee to examine allegations of research misconduct against Churchill. In spring, the committee announced findings that Churchill plagiarized some of his work.
Two months ago, interim CU-Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano announced his intention to fire the tenured professor.
