DenverPost.com - CU in Crisis

The President of the University of Colorado (CU) just turned in her resignation--and obviously the Ward Churchill dust-up isn't the only issue that CU has on its plate. CU is the same place where the football program directorship provided booze and prosties to prospective football recruits, and now the scandal even touches the former Colorado AG who just became Colorado's junior US Senator.

You would think, wouldn't you, that Ward Churchill couldn't get away from CU fast enough--for how can his association with a school whose football program lures new recruits with drink and sex help his liberal credentials? He and CU clearly deserve each other. As for Betsy Hoffman, the CU president who resigned today, she needs to re-evaluate a lot of her thinking on what higher education is supposed to be all about.
