I find that I must agree with Keith Burgess-Jackson in this case. Moreover, I'll state that he exhibits his profound maturity in dealing with this topic.
What I found most refreshing, here, is that Keith manifests a great lesson in honesty and integrity. Those who follow his blog, as I do, know that he has defended the tenure system in universities. He is, himself, a tenured professor. So, he has a bias in defending Ward Churchill, also a tenured professor. However, Keith has daily demonstrated his integrity in his own blog. For instance, and this is by no means the only example, he's a vegetarian who speaks out regularly against the antics of animal-rights activists--much as I, an atheist, loath and speak out against the antics of atheist activists. Therefore, based on his reputation with me, I can disregard his bias in this case.
Another sign of maturity is demonstrated by the fact that he understands what this all really means. I said as much, just a few days ago.

Prof. Ward Chuchill lied on his resume about being part American Indian. If I am not mistaken, he is professor of history and being part indian gave him an advantage for his job.
The thoughts of love and life is always there, because you can't have
love if you don't have a life. These two always need the other or simply they co-exist with each other. And talking about love and life then, this is where integrity and maturity enter. These two keys are very vital to a certain relationship. You must be honest to your loved one and at the same time be matured in dealing, solving and facing any problems may occur in a certain point of the relationship. I like this article so much and I would say thank you for publishing this one.
