CNews 14June06

Standing Committee on Research Misconduct Quote of the Day (page 12):

"Professor Churchill has consistently failed to respond to critiques of his work—whether they occurred in the form of published essays, the Inquiry subcommittee’s questions, or the Investigative Committee’s questions and report—with any acknowledgement that his practices violate standard norms. We are drawn to the irresistible conclusion that Professor Churchill is unable, or at least unwilling, to acknowledge legitimate critique. If he is unwilling to acknowledge the critiques, we are pessimistic that he is likely to change his behavior."

Just an idle thought here: As we've noted before, if the CU Ethnic Studies department had among its members a single real scholar with a shred of integrity, that scholar would be calling for the resignation (not firing) of the academic Typhoid Mary in their midst. Instead, the entire department has remained silent—and that silence speaks volumes. Apparently, railing against capitalism from a tenured podium shows courage, but standing up to protect the integrity of scholarship does not. Okay. We get it.

Comments are open and unmoderated, and do not necessarily reflect the views of PirateBallerina. Obscene, abusive, threatening, silly, or annoying remarks may be deleted, but the fact that particular comments remain on the site in no way constitutes an endorsement of their views by PirateBallerina.

Forgotten in all of this are the kids who deserve the best possible professors. Does anyone in this believe that an individual who intentionally lied about his ethnicity to get the job, repeatedly falsified his research, and appears to have no qualms about tying up the university in litigation in a failing attempt to save his own job is the best possible professor for University of Colorado students?

insider, but in Boulder, you would be denying CU students essential life skills in mendacity.
