Investigation: Ward Churchill Committed Serious Academic Misconduct

Fox News just reported that and investigation in to anti-American University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill has found that he committed serious academic misconduct. No link from FNC yet. But this from Rocky Mountain News:

BOULDER, Colo. — An investigation of Ward Churchill, a University of Colorado professor who likened some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi, uncovered serious cases of misconduct in his academic research, a University of Colorado spokesman said today.

One member of the five-person investigative committee recommended that ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill be fired, and four recommended he be suspended, university spokesman Barrie Hartman said.

Churchill has denied doing anything wrong.

Michelle Malkin is all over this, and points to another Rocky Mountain News story, that says there will be a press conference at 2:30 pm. Not sure if this is eastern time, or mountain time since this is a Colorado publication.

Michelle also gives us the direct link to the PDF of the investigation's report at the University of Colorado web site.

***UPDATE***
NBC affiliate News 9 in Denver reports that recommendations for how to deal with Churchill range from suspension to termination.

DENVER - 9NEWS has learned recommendations made by members of the investigative committee looking into allegations of misconduct by tenured University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill vary from suspension to termination.
Two members of the committee say in the report Churchill should not be dismissed and the most appropriate discipline is suspension without pay for two years.

Three members think the violations are so serious that he falls under university criteria for dismissal. One believes he should be dismissed outright and the other two think the most appropriate discipline is suspension without pay for five years.

And yet another Rocky Mountain News article has more on just what Ward Churchill did (you know, besides comparing 9/11 victims to Nazis):

BOULDER -- A University of Colorado investigative committee found deliberate and serious misconduct by ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill, including plagiarism, fabrication, and "serious deviation from accepted practices in reporting results from research," according to a report made public today.

The committee also noted Churchill was "disrespectful of Indian oral traditions" when he wrote the U.S. government distributed blankets infested with smallpox to Mandan Indians in 1837 on the Upper Missouri River.

Hot Air has posted some of the audio from the press conference.

Sooo, Randy, ignoring president's yesterday declaration of amnesty, eh? Probably you've nothing to say, being royally screwed by your Dear Leader?

Now as your el presidente stated his position - liberal amnesty-for-all plus let-slaveowners-get-all-cheap-labor-they-want, how is he going to get your vote? Ah, yes, when time comes, he will remember that there is a need for anti-gay-"marriage" amendment.... and suckers like you will start kissing his ass again...

Igor, you've already made enough of an ass out of yourself with your BS claiming that the President hires illegals and all your slave owner crap in this thread
http://www.rightwinged.com/2006/05/stop_the_invasion_border_secur.html
Do you really need to continue?

By the way, I'm not sure what any of that has to do with Ward Churchill....

Anyway, no I'm not pleased with what the President did, but there has been a lot of other news to cover today, and I think the blogosphere is saturated with plenty of GOPers slamming him on this.. Head over to Michelle Malkin if you need some... But it's nothing new anyway.

Also, what good is piling on and threatening to note vote in the midterms.... So we can just hand it to Dems who would be even worse?

no to c-student bush and his cohort of neo-loonies does NOT mean no to republican party and legacy build by people like President Reagan.

if republicans are unable to kick c(f!)-president out of their rank, they are not worthy being the right party. if bush is what you want, you should re-register as democrat - that's the party that caters to loosers and proles.

Oh I get it, now you're playing the predictable role of "I'm not a liberal, I'm a conservative who's fed up with Bush".... Very original Igor.

As for "c-student" Bush.... I suppose you'd prefer d-student Kerry?

No I don't prefer Kerry. No I don't "play" any "role".

I am just trying to put into your f***ing pig head that the world is not white and black.

My being against bush&co doesn't mean that I am for kerry&liberals. Can't you understand that simple thing?

I am against bush, but I am against kerry and hillary.
I am against war in Iraq, but I don't have problems with NSA "spying".

I am sick of both billoreilly and idiotic liberal leftists.
I don't consider gay "marriage" being a real marriage, but if it makes them happy, I don't mind.

Only cretins see world as black-and-white or us-vs-them or "if you are not with me, you are against me".

Grow up already!

And that will be your last post Igor. You're just coming to unhinged, and you never have anything of any substance to say, and it's quite clear that you're (at least slightly) out of your mind. Seriously, you have got to be missing a few screws... Exhibit A -
http://www.rightwinged.com/2006/05/stop_the_invasion_border_secur.html

I just can't keep spending time responding to your mental midget posts forcing you to backtrack over and over, and then still making wild accusations and never attempting to support them. Seriously get help, but I'm going to end your idiocy outlet here. I just can't leave you to have the last word and think you made any sense simply because I want to ignore you.

Anyway, you don't see the world in "black and white" huh? Seems pretty absolute to me when you say that the President is for slavery. Of course this is in addition to your claims in the other thread that Bush hires illegals that I forced you to backtrack on, but you still kept up the servent crap, etc.

Like last time, you invoke the President's name simply because of your partisan Bush hate... Last time you accuse him of hiring illegals and tried to spin around, this time you say "c-student bush" out of no where, instead of saying "d-student Kerry". Your comment was just out of the blue, so don't act like it had anything to do with a response to me.

Face it, you suffer from severe Bush Derangement Syndrome. You make the most insane claims... and well, I'm just done, I really don't want to aid your sickness. Seriously dude, go back and read your comments, especially our exchange in the other thread.

If you don't have a couple screws loose I'm not sure what the problem is, but you are definitely in the top 5 for looniest people I've ever encountered on the internet.
