Faculty Assembly of the Indiana School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University – Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI)

January 27, 2007 on 10:29 pm | In Support

On November 17, 2006, the Faculty Assembly of the Indiana School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University – Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI) unanimously passed the following resolution:

The Faculty Assembly of the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at Indiana University – Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI) deplores the decision of the University of Colorado at Boulder to fire tenured Ethnic Studies Professor Ward Churchill. He is being unfairly punished for having expressed unpopular and controversial views in a book and at public forums. We view this as an attack on critical thinking, which ought to be protected on campuses everywhere, and ask that the University of Colorado at Boulder rescind this decision immediately.

This motion of support will be sent to the American Association of University Professors and to the University of Colorado at Boulder.

This resolution was sent to the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor and CU Regents … who don’t seem to be having press conferences on the expressions of support for Prof. Churchill coming in from around the country.
