Ward Churchill
Ward Churchill and his ilk are not the only wierdos ever encamped at C.U. This school has been a haven for odd-balls for quite some time. Back in the middle 80’s the little company I worked for went “down the tubes". I had taught night courses at D.U. some years back and was presently teaching nights at a local community college, so I approached C.U. with the possability that there was something there that I could do.
The nice young lady at Human Resources accepted my resume and while I was waiting there a tall, stoop-shouldered, individual entered. His hair resembled a multi-colored balloon, he wore a tie-dyed tank top, torn-off jeans and flip-flops. I quietly asked the young lady if they really allowed students to dress like this and she informed me that he was not a student but a professor. I took back my resume and, feeling that I didn’t belong in that kind of environment, went home.

I had a similar experience. While at DU law school, they hired this kid from New York (the East Coast) and he dressed like the aforementioned. He dressed that way until they read him the riot act: Suit and tie. I think he thought he would be identifying with his ilk at DU.
Don't want Richard to feel like an orphan so I contribute a post since out name is the sweetest in any language. RG Richard Grimes

While I was a student at DU, there was a smarmy, balding young man dressed in a cheap suit and red tie. He must have been accepted and graduated, because I read years later that he was working for a Texan in politics.
His name was Carl Rove.
He sure did a heckava job, didn't he?
DU can be very proud ,of Carl and Condi too!
Posted by CW on August 17, 2007 08:06 PMHmmm, No idea who Carl Rove is. Kind of cool, he has a similar name to Karl Rove. Of course, considering that the real Karl Rove never went to DU, but to the University of Utah, I must assume you are speaking of a real person named Carl Rove, otherwise the point of your post is quite lame.
So, who was this Carl Rove you speak of? Did he work for Ma Richards?
Was he a plagiarizing fake indian as well as Ward Churchill?
Also, a cheap suit is still a suit...... I am sure there are a number of teachers out there who wear cheap suits who are probably deeply offended about now.
