Churchill's questionable claims
The case of University of Colorado professor of "ethnic studies" Ward Churchill is getting curioser and curioser. Thomas Brown, a professor at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, has posted a "work—in—progress" which suggests that Churchill has fabricated an entirely fictitious atrocity against Native Americans.
If this charge is correct, then tenure cannot protect Churchill's job.
