More Foul Deeds
Now Chief Pants-on-Fire is being accused of plagiarism, and threats to the woman whose paper he plagiarized:
Dalhousie began an investigation after professor Fay G. Cohen complained that Churchill used her research and writing in an essay without her permission and without giving her credit. Although the investigation substantiated her allegations, Cohen didn't pursue the matter because she felt threatened by Churchill, Crosby said.
Crosby said Cohen told Dalhousie officials in 1997 that Churchill had called her in the middle of the night and said, "I'll get you for this."
This happened over eight years ago, with no repercussions until now.
Giving him a buyout would be a travesty. The money would be much better spent defending any lawsuit that he attempts to bring, should the university finally do the right thing, and boot him out on the street. And the people who continue to defend him should be ashamed of themselves.

Perhaps they should, but the people who defend this lying clown have no shame.
Or they wouldn't be defending him.

I hope he sticks around for a long time. He is a symptom of a system that is broken and needs to be fixed. The longer he is at CU the more attention the broken system will receive. This will cause "rocks" in a number of different areas to to be turned over. Watching what crawls out will provide hours of entertainment.
If he is fired CU will say everything is taken care of and it will go back to the same rotten business as usual.
