Kudos to the University of Colorado Board of Regents for their handling of the Ward Churchill matter, for:
1. Their public apology on behalf of the university.
2. Opening up a 30-day public investigation into the matter of Churchill’s future employment status.
I hope that the investigation report will be made fully public in detail, so the people can judge fairly as well.
Much ore pathetic are those who were arrested for disturbing a public meeting and those who came to show support for Churchill’s views. At least those who defend his employment status on the basis of the First Amendment are just ignorant.
I am hesitant to ask, but must: How much will this investigation cost the taxpayer and will Dr. Besty justify Churchill’s use of the c-word as merely quoting Chaucer?
