College professor quits post over 9/11-Nazi essay
Tuesday, February 1, 2005
Ward Churchill, a University of Colorado professor who is active on Indian issues, resigned as chair of the ethnic studies department on the Boulder campus due to controversy over an essay that linked victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to Nazis.
Churchill said he was in the best interests of the university to step down from the post. His term was to expire in June. He will continue to teach at the school.
The controversy arose after Churchill was invited to speak at Hamilton College in New York. He will make the appearance on Thursday despite calls to cancel it.
