That's welcomed, by Ward Churchill, because when you get scholars in the field, which these (standing committee) folks are not, then he will be vindicated.

I have no idea what Ward Churchill will be doing on Columbus Day, but I imagine it will involve the full exercise of his rights under the First Amendment,

We believe this to be very positive because the issue regarding whether or not Churchill is an American Indian was dismissed outright. That was the most single offensive allegation against him.

This is really a victory for professor Churchill.

Hoffman is right. It's much harder to get away with dirty little secrets like Ward Churchill - who apparently gamed the CU system for years - in the era of the blogosphere, when facts (not rumors) can be instantly reported. If I had simply published rumors, the story would never have caught on like it did.

Weather's not an issue when you have that kind of field.
