DENVER — Learning at the University of Colorado will go on without Ward Churchill. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday Chief Denver District Court Judge Larry Naves denied Churchill’s motion for reinstatement of employment as well as any “front” pay. It was part of a decision where Naves granted CU and the Board of Regents immunity from being sued, which vacates the jury verdict from April of this year. <\/p>\n
Churchill essentially got nothing.<\/p>\n
The ethnic studies professor had sued CU in an attempt to regain his teaching post. <\/p>\n
Churchill was fired in 2007, following a two-year investigation into allegations Churchill fabricated some of his scholarly publications. <\/p>\n
But a Denver jury in April 2009 ruled the school had only fired him after controversy erupted surrounding an essay he’d written in September 2001, comparing the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to a Nazi leader. <\/p>\n
That ruling included only a symbolic damage award of $1.<\/p>\n
“Based on the foregoing, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants are GRANTED quasi-judicial immunity as a matter of law from Professor Churchill’s second claim for relief. As a result, the jury’s verdict in this matter is hereby VACATED, and judgment is hereby entered in favor of Defendants on Professor Churchill’s Second Claim for Relief.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
