Ward Churchill Wins In Court

Most people, including his fellow professors, would say that he is a plagiarizing half-wit who knows little to zilch about history. Still, a jury agreed that the University of Colorado would not have fired Ward ‘9/11 victims were little Eichmanns’ Churchill were he not to have made the controversial comments.

DENVER — A jury found on Thursday that the University of Colorado had wrongfully dismissed a professor who drew national attention for an essay in which he called some victims of the Sept. 11 attacks “little Eichmanns.”

But the jury, which deliberated for a day and a half, awarded only $1 in damages to the former professor, Ward L. Churchill, a tenured faculty member at the university’s campus in Boulder since 1991 who was chairman of the ethnic studies department.

The jurors found that Mr. Churchill’s political views had been a “substantial or motivating” factor in his dismissal, and that the university had not shown that he would have been dismissed anyway.
