Ward Churchill Fired From University of Colorado

"Today, I issued to Professor Churchill a notice of intent to dismiss him from his faculty position at the University of Colorado Boulder," CU Interim Chancellor Phil DiStefano said Monday afternoon.

That would end the CU career of Ward "little Eichmanns" Churchill, who promises that he will sue the school. But first, he gets 10 days to appeal.

DiStefano wrote in a statement: "Professor Churchill may request within 10 days to have President Brown or me forward this recommendation to the Faculty Senate Committee on Privilege and Tenure. If Professor Churchill does so, a special panel will then conduct hearings about this matter and make a recommendation to the president about whether the grounds for dismissal are supported."

Churchill's lawyer said in a press conference that Churchill will indeed appeal, and that he will also take the case to the people, so to speak.

"We're going to a real court because we can trust juries to do the right thing," said Churchill's attorney David Lane. "Churchill says this is all completely bogus. Let's see if a jury and a federal district court agree with the committee. Or see if everything that's happened here is retaliation for Ward Churchill's First Amendment free speech relating to 9/11."
