CU clarifies Churchill probe

From: Inside Higher Ed:The University of Colorado has clarified the status of investigations into misconduct by Ward Churchill, a controversial professor of ethnic studies at the university’s Boulder campus. A faculty panel has been asked to review seven allegations, including plagiarism and falsification, according to a statement the university issued on Friday. Churchill became the focus of the investigation early this year after it became widely known that he had compared the victims in 9/11 at the World Trade Center to “little Eichmanns.” Churchill has denied any wrongdoing and has praised a preliminary review for declining to consider several other charges against him. The charges remaining against him, however, are among the more serious allegations — and could lead to removal of his tenure.
