And it was a "Catholic" educational institution to boot.
The guy taught finance, and current politics, unless it affects the economy, ought to be out of bounds. But according to the prof, the administration encouraged if not urged the faculty to discuss the current crisis with the students.
First rule of courtrooms, or Law & Order---don't ask a question you don't already know the answer to.
Perhaps admin was confident they had faculty under their heel, and no unanticipated answers would crop up. Odds are they were correct.
No matter---unlike the justice system, if uncongenial answers pop up, you can just fire the witness.
Poor sap. He told the truth as he saw it, and was on the wrong side of the "truth." Big mistake.
(I defend, in the abstract, Ward Churchill, BTW. He had a point, too.)
Adjunct faculty serve at the pleasure of the administration.
I'm sure they cite his firing rationale as "job-related performance issues".
