Rocky Mountain News: Regents approve faster prof firing
University of Colorado regents unanimously adopted rules Thursday that sharply reduce the time it takes to fire a tenured professor.
The new rules come as the case of ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill drags through the appeals process, more than nine months after a committee recommended that he be terminated for violations that included plagiarism, inventing facts and publishing essays under pseudonyms, which he then quoted as scholarly sources. He continues to draw his $96,000-a-year salary during the appeal.
