Controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill filed suit on Tuesday to halt dismissal proceedings against him.
Churchill wants CU to cover $20,000 in legal expenses while he appeals his dismissal. A court hearing is scheduled today.
CU moved to terminate Churchill after an investigation uncovered academic misconduct. The probe was sparked by his comparison of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to Nazi Germany.
Churchill has claimed Cherokee, Metis and Creek ancestry.
