MLA Condemns CU for Retaliation against Ward Churchill

January 6, 2008 on 10:28 pm | In Support

At its annual meeting, the Modern Language Association passed this resolution:

RESOLUTION TO CONDEMN UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
FOR ITS RETALIATION AGAINST WARD CHURCHILL

Whereas, upon criticism of Professor Ward Churchill for his remarks concerning the 9/11 attacks, the University of Colorado initiated proceedings against him, and whereas such acts of retribution threaten free expression in the university setting, particularly against those in historically marginalized disciplines,

Be it resolved that the Modern Language Association condemns this action of the President and Regents of the University of Colorado.
