Radical outspoken professors: scholars or activists?

Christian Science Monitor: Radical outspoken professors: scholars or activists?

You don’t have to be a crusading right-winger to recognize that University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, who compared the victims of the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack to Nazis, is an extremist, an ideologue whose scholarship is less than objective.

Nor do you have to be a flame-throwing left-winger to agree that the university where he was once director of the ethnic-studies department shouldn’t have ditched him the way it did. It needed to do much, much more.
