the extermination of Jews during the Holocaust.
After the speech gained notoriety, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens called on the
university to fire Churchill.
Churchill's wife, Natsu Saito, resign! ed Tuesday as an ethnic studies professor at the university.
Among other things, she complained that the university had ignored racial
harassment of the department.
Lane said Churchill intended to fight for his job in federal court. "He's
not going to back down," he said.
