“New game, new game,” said a defiant Ward Churchill, referring to his intent to sue the university after the state Board of Regents voted 8-1 Tuesday to remove him as ethnic studies chairman.

whoops, not just a loud mouth, but a cheating, lying stealing loudmouth. Bet he loses the lawsuit as well.
