BOULDER, Colo. – A University of Colorado professor who angered two governors and offended families of World Trade Center victims with his comparison of 911 victims to Nazis gave a speech Tuesday to a cheering crowd of hundreds. <snip>
Nearly two dozen uniformed officers inside the ballroom used handheld metal detectors to scan the more than 1,000 attendees for weapons. No weapons were found and nobody was arrested, said Derrick Watson, assistant to vice chancellor for administration. <snip>
The crowd was loud and orderly as Churchill, whose writings and speeches face a 30-day university review that could lead to his dismissal, spoke: "I do not work for the taxpayers of the state of Colorado. I do not work for (Gov.) Bill Owens. I work for you," he said to thunderous applause. <snip>
Churchill spoke for 35 minutes and was interrupted several times by applause, never by protest. Most of his speech centered on United State's foreign policy, and the history of domestic policy toward American Indians. <snip>

University of Wisconsin-Whitewater administrators spent much of the day Tuesday fielding calls from people expressing their opinions about the school's plan to host Ward Churchill ...
Brian Mattmiller, university spokesman, said the calls, which he numbered in the dozens, were split evenly from those wanting the school to cancel Churchill's talk and those urging that he be allowed to speak.
"It's 50-50," said Mattmiller.
UW-Whitewater Chancellor Jack Miller is reviewing the situation and is expected to announce in the next few days whether the event will be held as scheduled, Mattmiller said. <snip>
