Just when you thought he had disappeared, the Ivory Toweristas have come up with a petition in support of poor Ward Churchill. I'm sorry, that's "Courageous Professor Ward Churchill." My bad. The actions of the University of Colorado in this...

A fantastic post by the Rocky Mountain News on my bud Ward Churchill that really lays out what a 'scholar' he is. From the looks of it the RMN has done a lot more research than Ward ever did... Thanks...

Jeff Jarvis watched the "interview" that Bill Maher had with Ward Churchill. All I can say is Oh My God. What a completely offensive and simply incredibly vile show. After reading Jeff's comments, and those of Democracy Guy (who very...

David Kopel has an excellent post up at Volokh that provides a great summation of the fraud that is Ward Churchill. As I've noted before, the real scandal here is not what he's said but that he was given tenure....

There is one common misconception on this whole Ward Churchill brouhaha that I'd like to clear up: being chair of the department is not "the pinnacle of the faculty" as Horowitz alleges. In fact, in many departments no one wants...
