what has a guy gotta do

the committee looking into colorado professor ward churchill found alotta wrongdoing
Among the violations that the committee found Churchill had committed were falsification, fabrication, plagiarism, failure to comply with established standard regarding author names on publications, and a 'serious deviation from accepted practices in reporting results from research.'
while 3 committee members find dismissal-worthy behavior, only one recommends dismissal, while the other 4 suggest varying lengths of of suspension without pay. colorado governor bill owens favors the very unlikely churchhill resignation. [note: links found via memeorandum] the suspension without pay route is toothless as churchhill's silly rhetoric will likely keep his speech making schedule full among the anti-american/america-hating crowd.

increasingly, the world of academia frowns upon opinion outside 'academic mainstream' (including the right words helps), with a hint of anti-americanism and out-and-out political correctness, all while watching their numbers
