Academic Freedom In Peril: Berkeley Forum On Ward Churchill
Ward Churchill At Berkeley Forum
On March 28th 2005, a forum on the topic of academic freedom was held at UC Berkeley. The primary focus was on the case of Ward Churchill at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He and Natsu Saito were on this panel along with Prof. Carlos Munoz, Dean of Arts and Humanities Ralph Hexter, and the head of the UCB Ethnic Studies Department Ling-chi Wang.
Churchill described the distinction between first amendment freedom and academic freedom. He also repeated his explanation of the Eichman comment, talked about a bar in the financial district that displays the teeth that Custer knocked out of his indian sex slave's mouth, and touched on his opinion of Thomas Brown, John Lavelle, concern over his ethnicity, and his income.
