CU asks court to bill Churchill for $52,000 in legal costs
Excerpt:
A Denver jury found that CU unlawfully fired [52K. Looks like a grueling marathon of Direct Action & Solidarity Pancake Fly-In Breakfasts ahead for The Perfesser.ProfessorDoctorIndianScholarWard] Churchill for exercising his right to free speech, but only awarded him $1 in damages. After considering the jury's ruling, Chief Denver District Court Judge Larry Naves declined to award Churchill his job back or any compensation. Churchill has vowed to appeal the ruling.
Colorado law requires the court to award the "prevailing party," in this case CU, "reasonable costs."
Now CU has finished tallying up its expenses, which amount to $52,181.71, and the school has filed a motion in Denver District Court requesting compensation from Churchill.
Thought for the day: Hope and change.

[begins 6:59] "As I said, killing the colonizer is a figurative proposition; it is a [liberal? literal?] proposition; but either way and by all available means, the proposition has to be fulfilled and that is the way not only to liberation but to mental health."
Speaking of anniversaries, happy b-day, Perfesser, and good luck with that mental health thing.
