A Canadian professor's allegations that controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill plagiarized and threatened her have derailed buyout talks with CU.

Professor Fay G. Cohen said Churchill stole an essay about fishing rights from her in 1997. When she complained, she alleges Churchill called her and threatened her.

Churchill denies the claims. He said Cohen appears to be upset over an "end note" in the fishing rights essay he published.

Churchill and CU reached a buyout deal but a news report prompted concerns by CU regents and critics who want the professor fired.
