Report: U. of Colo. May Buy Out Professor Wed Mar 9,11:24 PM ET U.S. National - AP BOULDER, Colo. - The University of Colorado's governing board is trying to negotiate the resignation of a professor who compared victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to Nazis, a television station reported Wednesday. The university's Board of Regents has authorized its lawyers to talk with an attorney representing Ward Churchill, a tenured ethnic studies professor, KCNC-TV said. Churchill ignited a firestorm with an essay he wrote that likened some victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to Nazi bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann, who helped organize the Holocaust. "We have authorized our attorney to talk to his attorney to see where we are in this situation," Regent Patricia Hayes told the Denver television station. "I'm sure there is a price tag that he's talking about, and I'm sure there's one we're talking about." In an interview later with The Associated Press, Hayes stopped short of saying attorneys were in negotiations. "We are exploring all the options possible and, to my knowledge, nothing has happened as of today," she said. "We feel it's necessary to bring this to a conclusion for the university." Churchill's attorney, David Lane, declined comment to KCNC. Lane did not return after-hours phone messages from the AP, and Churchill declined comment through his wife. Churchill has come under intense scrutiny since the essay, written hours after the attacks, received widespread attention earlier this year. Several lawmakers have called for his resignation, including Gov. Bill Owens. In the essay, Churchill compared workers who died at the World Trade Center to "little Eichmanns" because of their participation in what he called "the mighty engine of profit." University administrators are investigating Churchill's works to determine whether to recommend his dismissal. A report of their findings is expected after March 14. story.news.yahoo.com
