The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the appeal of former professor Ward Churchill, who made controversial comments after 9/11.
Churchill, who taught ethnic studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, sought to reverse administrators’ decision to terminate his employment after a committee of colleagues found him guilty of “multiple acts of plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification.”
Churchill argued his termination was in retaliation for his post-9/11 comments, in which he called World Trade Center workers “little Eichmanns” who deserved death.
