Re: REPORT: Ward Churchill Settlement?

[Doug Orr <douglasorr@xxxxxxx>]

The bigger problem is, even with a buy out, this establishes the precedent
that faculty can be terminated for their academic views.  The first one
gets a buy out, the next one gets nothing and the rest get prison.  Welcome
to the new McCarthyism and Germany, 1932.

The faculty Senate at EWU passed a resolution upholding academic freedom
and looking for a way to re-invite Churchill to speak somewhere near our
campus (since the president of the U has declared that he can't speak on
campus).  This is a fight we have to take seriously because it will be a
fight for our professional lives.
