Churchill gets nothing

from the Boulder Daily Camera

In a resounding defeat for ousted University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, a judge decided Tuesday to neither give the controversial professor his job back at CU nor award him any financial compensation for his dismissal from the school nearly two years ago.

I have mixed feelings about this because Churchill was clearly fired for his political views as the school previously was told he was an academic fraud and choose to take no action.

On the flip side, he is an academic fraud and therefore should not be at a University. So good news for students that he’s gone.

As to the University’s claim that they will truly review professors going forward – any others been fired? Nope? Gee…
