Ward Churchill, the man that calls 9/11 victims Nazi’s that deserved to die, the man that has claimed to be an Indian even after being proven to have lied, the man that encourages another 9/11 type attack and openly talks about how he would do it, the man that copied artwork and claimed it as his own…None of this has gotten him into trouble with the university that employs him, but one of the few things that can rile academia is theft of intellectual property. Now it seems that he has done just that. Not only did he plagiarize another professor, he then threatened her enough that she didn’t press it at the time, but now, “whatever concerns she may have about her safety are outweighed by the importance she attaches to this information getting out there.”
MSNBC - Prof accused of plagiarism
University of Colorado officials investigating embattled professor Ward Churchill received documents this week purporting to show that he plagiarized another professor’s work.Officials at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia sent CU an internal 1997 report detailing allegations about an article Churchill wrote.“The article . . . is, in the opinion of our legal counsel, plagiarism,” Dalhousie spokesman Charles Crosby said in summarizing the report’s findings.

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.”
