University of Colorado wrongfully fired professor, jury says

From The New York Times: A jury has found that the University of Colorado wrongfully dismissed a professor who drew national attention for an essay in which he called some victims of the Sept. 11 attacks “little Eichmanns.” But the jury awarded only $1 in damages to the former professor, Ward L. Churchill, a tenured faculty member at the university’s campus in Boulder since 1991. Whether Churchill will get his job back has not been resolved. Churchill’s lawyers say they will ask the judge to order reinstatement. A spokesman for the university says administrators will oppose the request.
