Good Morning:
If anyone is interested in reading Ward Churchill’s response to the University of Colorado-Boulder on why he should be rehired, here is the brief filed June 1 on his behalf. The lawyers on both sides are expected to have a meeting with the judge next week to determine what main arguments will define the reinstatement hearing scheduled for July 1. Churchill is a former CU professor who was fired in 2005 for research misconduct. A jury recently found he was wrongfully terminated for an essay he wrote about victims in the World Trade Center bombings of Sept. 11, 2001. They awarded him $1 in nominal damages. Now, Churchill wants his job back.
See my previous post for more links on the Churchill v. University of Colorado case. Native leaders and scholars have submitted affidavits in opposition to Churchill’s rehiring.
