Ward Churchill is a full professor at the University of Colorado. He became a figure of controversy for his essay, Some People Push Back. The controversy deepened: Is he really Native American, as he claims? Is his academic work up to the standard required of a tenured professor? Did he in fact plagiarize others' work?
There's a new stage in the University's response.
The University of Colorado's inquiry into professor Ward Churchill has moved into a full-blown investigation, but a decision on whether he'll keep his job could take at least five more months.
In a news release Friday, CU spokeswoman Pauline Hale said the Standing Committee on Research Misconduct had notified interim provost Susan Avery that seven allegations warrant further investigation.
The seven allegations "include alleged instances of plagiarism, misuse of others' work, falsification and fabrication of authority," Hale said, declining to elaborate.
