K. C. Johnson Discusses FIRE and the Ward Churchill Affair
My friend K. C. Johnson, a professor at Brooklyn College, has posted an interesting discussion of our analysis of the University of Colorado’s report on Ward Churchill:
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has issued an analysis of the University of Colorado’s Report on Conclusion of Preliminary Review in the Matter of Professor Ward Churchill. As always, FIRE is right on target.
Thanks for the props, K. C.! He goes on to analyze the remaining issues in the Churchill case and to discuss legislation in Florida that he finds troubling. It’s a blog post well worth the read.
