CU Scandal Archive

We really are not trying to pick on the University of Colorado, but they make themselves such a tempting target. What other school would have a sex scandal, a while male political correctness "scandal", a financial mismanagement scandal, and a plagiarizing, fake Native American, professor speaking ill of the dead scandal all within the span of a year.

(Tried to put these in more or less chronological order. A lot of the articles on Ward Churchill and Betsy Hoffman are now broken it seems. I guess those who run the internet are trying to wipe out their transgressions.)
