Colorado Professor Cited for Misconduct - Ward Churchill AP on Yahoo ^ \| 5/16/06 \| Chase Squires BOULDER, Colo. - An investigation of a professor who likened some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi found serious cases of misconduct in his academic research, a University of Colorado spokesman said Tuesday. One member of the five-person investigative committee recommended that ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill be fired, and four recommended he be suspended, university spokesman Barrie Hartman said. Churchill has denied doing anything wrong. He said earlier Tuesday that he had yet to see the report. University officials had earlier determined Churchill could not be fired for his comments about the terrorist attacks, but they launched an inquiry into allegations about his research, which included accusations of plagiarism and fabrication. Churchill's wife, Natsu Saito, who also teaches in the ethnic studies department, said Tuesday she had resigned her tenured teaching position at the school but said she and Churchill have no plans to leave Boulder. In her resignation letter, Saito accused the university of reneging on promises to her and the department, ignoring racial harassment of the department and individuals, and treating Churchill unfairly. She said her decision to resign was not prompted by the pending report.

Muslim body 'in sex claim cover-up' theaustralian ^ \| May 16, 2006 \| Richard Kerbaj theaustralian.news.com.au THE nation's peak Muslim body has been accused of covering up a sex scandal after a senior worker allegedly downloaded pornography and sexually harassed two women at the organisation's head office. The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, which is a key adviser to the federal Government and upholds Muslim standards in the community, was forced to issue a directive to staff that pornography - strictly forbidden in the Koran - should not be accessed at work. But the worker at the centre of the claims - believed to include lewd language, touching female staff and the downloading of porn images at work in front of women - is still employed by the organisation. And AFIC executives agreed, at a special meeting to discuss the claims by two women, that the matter be buried. "It was unanimously resolved that this matter be expunged from the normal minutes of the exco (executive committee) meeting and the details retained in the confidential files of AFIC," the minutes to the July 31, 2004, meeting say. Two internal investigators were asked to examine the claims, but the accusations went no further. AFIC's senior legal adviser, Haset Sali, denied yesterday that there was a cover-up. "It was a matter that I dealt with in confidence and all the parties concerned asked that the matter be treated as such," he said. "It was satisfactorily resolved from the point

Compare and contrast these two stories......where the he is the UN? Rape, brutality ignored to aid Congo peace cnn.com "Some of them have knives and other sharp objects inserted in them after they've been raped, while others have pistols shoved into their vaginas and the triggers pulled back," said Dr. Denis Mukwege Mukengere, the lone physician at the hospital. "It's a kind of barbarity that only savages are capable of." Also in the room is 28-year-old Henriette Nyota. Her spirit is all but broken. Three years ago, she said, she was gang raped as her husband and four children were forced to watch. The men in uniform then disemboweled her husband and continued raping her and her two oldest daughters, 10 and 8. The assault went on for three days. "I wish they'd killed me right there with my husband," she said, "What use am I now? Why did those animals leave me to suffer like this?" *********************************** U.N. Removes Peacekeepers After Slayings [from the Congo] AP ^ \| 1/24/6 \| ANJAN SUNDARAM sfgate.com KINSHASA, Congo -- The United Nations pulled its remaining peacekeepers out of the national park where eight Guatemalan peacekeepers were killed in an apparent gunbattle with Ugandan rebels, a U.N. spokesman said Tuesday. Hans-Jakob Reichen, U.N. military spokesman for eastern Congo, said the peacekeepers were withdrawn because they had completed a two-week mission to clear Garamba National Park of rebel forces. "It was decided to pull peacekeepers out of the park since any suspected rebels had melted into the jungle," Reichen said. The park straddles Congo's remote northeastern border with Sudan. Monday's violence marked the second-biggest single loss of life suffered by the 16,000-strong peacekeeping mission since it began in 1999. Nine Bangladeshi troops were killed in February 2005 by militiamen further south in Ituri province. The 105-strong special forces contingent of Guatemalan peacekeepers was added to the 16,000-strong U.N. mission in Congo because of the Guatemalans' extensive experience fighting in wet, equatorial forests and hilly terrain, the U.N. official said. The Ugandan rebels operate mostly from bases in southern Sudan, but some fighters fled to eastern Congo late last year following pressure from Ugandan troops who have been permitted by Sudanese authorities to pursue them to their rear bases.
