GET CHURCHILL OFF PAYROLL:
"Yesterday's decision to ask a University of Colorado faculty committee to further investigate Ward Churchill will no doubt be mocked by those who want the toxic professor fired now. But we hail it as a necessary step toward getting him off CU's payroll. Make no mistake. Churchill needs to go - and go soon. That's why we urge the CU regents, who were close to negotiating a buyout of Churchill's contract just a few weeks ago, to resume haggling toward that much-to-be-desired end."

CHURCHILL IN TROUBLE:
"Ward Churchill is in trouble. Not as much trouble as he should be in, but enough that he ought to be concerned, very concerned. That's because the University of Colorado committee charged with reviewing allegations against the ethnic studies professor has reached two laudable conclusions, even as it missed the mark with one other major finding. That major disappointment, unfortunately, involves the issue we have consistently argued held most promise: Churchill's repeated endorsements of violence."

ANOTHER LONG PROCESS:
"The [CU] report states that after seven weeks of research (which means, I'm guessing, reading the papers and listening to Caplis and Silverman), it found that Churchill might not be an American Indian and that he might have plagiarized. And that it's time for a committee (another committee) to spend as long as seven months (seven freakin' months) looking into it (meaning, I guess, reading the papers and listening to Caplis and Silverman) to determine whether Chancellor Phil DiStefano's hunch was right and to recommend - possibly - that Churchill be dismissed. Or censured. Or suspended. Or, I guess, flogged. Or not."

CHURCHILL NOT OFF HOOK:
" Those who have called for the head of Ward Churchill for the past two months are sure to be livid. The review committee charged with studying the allegations against the University of Colorado ethnic-studies professor on Thursday denied them their bloodlust in the name of due process. And in the frenzied frontier-justice atmosphere that prevails, such temperate action is sure to be characterized as nothing short of treason. What really occurred, though, was hardly a defense of a violent anarchist. Instead it was a thoughtful, civilized, judicious response to very serious charges. The system is working. And Churchill is not off the hook."

FIRE CHURCHILL? UNLIKELY:
"At this rate, it'll have to be a retroactive decision. By the time CU fires Ward Churchill, Colorado's infamous professor will have retired with a dozen additional tomes on American imperialism under his belt. 'My Life in Nazi America: How to live on a $95K and still be oppressed.' That's if CU ever fires him. Which seems highly unlikely." Get the Story:
