Ward Churchill wins...a dollar.
Please don't ask me what he's wearing, though:
"Ward Churchill won his case against the University of Colorado today as a Denver jury unanimously decided he was fired in retaliation for his controversial essay about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The jury gave Churchill $1 for past losses, finding he was fired over protected free speech.
Denver Chief District Judge Larry Naves will decide in a separate hearing whether the former Boulder professor can return to his job or receive pay for years he could have worked at CU."
