Churchill gets FIRED
WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! The truth prevails. Justice in a minor form comes to the forefront. Lies do get called onto the table. The Board of Regents does the RIGHT thing and concludes with the truth that Ward Churchill is a liar , thief, and all around not worthy of maintaning his status as a proffesor at the University of Colorado.
This unfortunately will not be the end of the story. Even though this putz was justly fired (way over do), Ward is going to sue the University.
Churchill fired; next shot in court
Prof loses battle with CU but says war far from over.

BOULDER - The first, very long chapter of the Ward Churchill saga ended Tuesday afternoon as just about everybody - including Churchill - had predicted: He was fired from his job as ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado.
The next chapter is set to begin today, when the controversial academic and his civil rights attorney, David Lane, sue the university in Denver District Court.
Churchill warned that his dismissal is the beginning of a wider attack on scholars with unpopular political views.
"If you think I'm the endgame, you're wrong," Churchill told supporters. "This is the kickoff."
He raised his fist and smiled defiantly when the school's Board of Regents voted 8-1 in public, following three hours of private discussions, to fire him.
The ruling was greeted with boos and the beating of drums by about 100 supporters - including American Indian Movement leader Russell Means - standing in the back of the meeting room.
CU President Hank Brown had earlier recommended the dismissal. In the end, there really wasn't much choice, Brown said.
Churchill "falsified history and fabricated history."
Furthermore, Churchill "did not express regret, apologize or agree to refrain from this behavior in the future," Brown said.
Some 25 faculty members on three committees had looked at the evidence against Churchill and found truth in the allegations that he violated academic conduct standards, said Pat Hayes, regents chairwoman.
"That's very persuasive," she said.
Churchill accused officials of orchestrating an "illusion of scholarly research" to justify his firing.
"That's a farce, but more than that, it's a fraud."
Regent Cindy Carlisle, who cast the dissenting vote, said she thought firing was too tough a penalty. She agreed with the Privilege and Tenure Committee's 3-2 vote in May to suspend Churchill for a year without pay.
[NOTE] How funny that Cindy Carlisle think thats lieing and manufacturing revised history and socalled documents. Plageriseing other Proffesors is not serious enough to warrent fireing. Lets look at what Ward has done.
1) He has CHEATED his present and former students out of an education.
2) He has opened up the University for massie lawsuits on not providing a real education to the students.
3) Ward has taken his personal adgenda and used the Univeristy to promote it. Abuseing the trust of his fellow proffesors and staff.
These are just the top of the list. Maybe we need to lok into Carlisles background and see just what exactly her credentials are.
