DENVER (AP) – The Colorado Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear an appeal from former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill, who is trying to get his job back after he was fired in 2007 following a public outcry over an essay in which he compared some Sept. 11 victims to a Nazi.
The court said it will consider whether it’s a violation of the First Amendment for a public university’s investigation into a tenured professor’s work to result in termination. The court also will consider whether the university’s regents are entitled to immunity from the lawsuit, and if Churchill can get his job back.
