CU to challenge Churchill's efforts to get job back

Last week, a Denver jury found that CU unlawfully fired Churchill for expressing his political beliefs and awarded him $1 in damages in his civil lawsuit. At issue in the lawsuit was whether a statement Churchill made in an essay comparing victims of the 9/11 attacks to Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann played a role in CU’s decision to fire the professor.
