Statement Regarding Ward Churchill's Recent Remarks in Portland, Ore.

June 30, 2005

Professor Ward Churchill's remarks do not represent the views of the university or the vast majority of our community. The university is in the midst of conducting a thorough investigation of allegations related to possible research misconduct by Professor Churchill.

It is important that the current inquiry be allowed to proceed with due process according to the laws of the Regents. Until that review is concluded, it would not be appropriate to comment further.
