Churchill Accused of Plagiarism, Buyout Near Little Green Footballs We have two pieces of news today about University of Colorado wacademic Ward “Little Eichmanns” Churchill; a professor at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia has accused Churchill of plagiarism: <<< University of Colorado officials investigating embattled professor Ward Churchill received documents this week purporting to show that he plagiarized another professor’s work. Officials at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia sent CU an internal 1997 report detailing allegations about an article Churchill wrote. “The article . . . is, in the opinion of our legal counsel, plagiarism,” Dalhousie spokesman Charles Crosby said in summarizing the report’s findings. Churchill did not return calls to his home or office Thursday seeking comment. Dalhousie began an investigation after professor Fay G. Cohen complained that Churchill used her research and writing in an essay without her permission and without giving her credit. Although the investigation substantiated her allegations, Cohen didn’t pursue the matter because she felt threatened by Churchill, Crosby said. Crosby said Cohen told Dalhousie officials in 1997 that Churchill had called her in the middle of the night and said, “I’ll get you for this.” msnbc.msn.com >>> And the University of Colorado is getting ready to hand Churchill a few hundred grand to get him to leave: Churchill buyout near. (Thanks to all who emailed about these stories.) <<< An attorney for Ward Churchill, the professor who compared some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi leader, said today he expects to reach a settlement with the University of Colorado “within the next day or so” on the embattled professor’s future. David Lane declined to discuss specifics, including the size of any agreement and whether it would mean the university would buy out the contract of Churchill, a tenured professor of ethnic studies. 9News said today it had learned that the proposed settlement amount is in the range of $300,000 to $400,000. It did not cite a source for its report. denverpost.com >>> littlegreenfootballs.com
