Churchill to receive “Teaching Recognition Award"

The Denver Post's love affair with Churchill continues
CU students' vote favors Churchill, but award withheld

Asked to nominate their favorite professor, students at the University of Colorado at Boulder overwhelmingly picked Ward Churchill. Yet the controversial figure's award is being withheld, in part, due to his tendency to "antagonize and create enemies," the head of the CU alumni association said.

Only at the tail end of the article do we learn that the award was voted on by only 6.9% percent of CU's student body (2085 out of 29,258), that it was an online poll, and that the alumni association administers the award, and so has every right to withhold it.
