yeah, based on his speeches i don't think the man should actually be fired... though i'm interested how the other charges will develop.
however, i am very concerned about the environment that spawned this whole situation. apparently mr. churchill is just that. he is on tenure with only a master's degree... no doctorate. in my collegiate experience, this is exceedingly rare. i've heard multiple news sources speculate that mr. churchill was placed on tenure very early in his career so as not to lose him to competing universities. if so, that would mean that he was seen as an uncommonly skilled rising star.
it appears that in this particular circle of academia men like churchill are sought out and prized. if true, what a sad day for our country and for the students who put so much money and trust into the faculty's hands.
