CU Students Present Petitions Protesting Attempt to Fire Prof. Churchill

April 11, 2007

University of Colorado at Boulder Students report:

The CU students who have organized to support academic freedom met at the UMC Fountain to rally in support of Ward Churchill. With signs protesting the University’s attack on Ward Churchill due to his unpopular 9-11 comments, we marched to administration offices to discuss with administration our demands. Press arrived with us and filmed the demands as well as the discussion with the liason who then received the petition to CU President Hank Brown with over 400 signatures demanding that Ward retain his position at the University. The liason then pretended our issues would be taken seriously and left.

All in all, it was a great event and a great start to our actions against the administration aT the University of Colorado at Boulder who seek to punish those who exercise their First Amendment Right.
