Ward Churchill Verdict of His Peers.

"If there is one crucial pattern that most affects our assessment, however, it is a pattern of failure to understand the difference between scholarship and polemic, or at least of behaving as though that difference does not matter."
    - From the Report of the Investigative Committee UC/Boulder

Harsh words directed right to the heart of Churchill's problem. He's the guy of "little Eichman's" fame right after 9/11. But this report only mentions that to kind of say "None of this would have happened if you'd shown just a little friggin' restraint."

I understand that we need loudmouth college professors that take extreme positions. I generally like rabble-rousers. But in my opinion, the guy didn't even apply a sanity test, let alone academic standards. And that's what this report says - that he isn't being honest academically in regard to his own beliefs and works. That's pretty pathetic.
