WARD CHURCHILL was given special privileges by UC officials allowing him to bypass normal tenure-track procedures:
A high-ranking University of Colorado official urged a faculty appointment for Ward Churchill in 1990, despite questions about his academic credentials. Less than a year later, Churchill landed a coveted tenured faculty position, bypassing the rigorous, six-year academic review that normally precedes tenure, according to CU documents.
