CU report on Ward Churchill delayed

by E Wayne Ross on February 28, 2006

Inside Higher Ed: A faculty panel investigating allegations of research misconduct by Ward Churchill said last week that it needed more time and would try to have a report done by May 9. The University of Colorado at Boulder panel was created following an uproar over statements about 9/11 by Churchill, who teaches ethnic studies. The investigation is not over those statements, but over allegations concerning Churchill’s scholarship that surfaced after the controversy broke. Churchill has denied any wrongdoing. The panel said that it needed more time because of the number of allegations and because some committee members quit and needed to be replaced.
