Ward Churchill update from Moonbat Central: Maybe you Can Strip Tenure from a Moonbat After ALL?

From good friend of the blog Dr. Steven Plaut of FrontPage Magazine's Moonbat Central.

It seems upcoming DePaul University guest speaker Ward Churchill, might, just might be forced to look for a new job in a few months.

(Scroll down to my Ward Churchill post from yesterday to view my take on the insanity of DePaul inviting Churchill to speak there.)

Plaut cites an article from Indian Country Today.

BOULDER, Colo. - Charges of research misconduct against controversial Colorado University professor Ward Churchill are moving ahead as the CU-Boulder faculty assembles a special Investigative Committee. A final decision on Churchill is expected within five months.

University officials announced Sept. 9 that seven of nine original charges deserved further investigation. Two others, including the charge that the professor misrepresented himself as a tribal member to gain academic advancement, fell outside of the committee's jurisdiction, said CU-Boulder spokesman Pauline Hale.

The 11-member Standing Committee on Research Misconduct will refer the seven charges to a special committee now being selected. University officials declined to comment on the selection of the new committee or its makeup, citing ''strict confidentiality requirements,'' but did say in a statement that the committee could have a chair and three to five members, and ''would be expected'' to make a report 120 days after it convened.

The committee will be named in early October. The seven charges include ''alleged instances of plagiarism, misuse of others' work, falsification and fabrication of authority,'' said the CU-Boulder statement.

It goes on...

According to UC-Boulder, the committee could reach one of three conclusions:

" Finding of misconduct;

" Finding of no culpable conduct, but serious research error; or

" Finding of no misconduct and no serious research error.

In the event of a finding of research misconduct, the university provost could impose potential sanctions ranging from warning to dismissal. Other actions could include a reprimand, reduction in pay or suspension.

I wonder if Churchill will cover the inquiry against him in his October 20 & 21 DePaul presentations?
