Polis Pushes Back As Employers Cite Rising Challenges In Colorado Economy

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics How does Colorado get back to the climate in the early 2000s, when there was collaboration between state government, companies and colleges and universities? That was the question posed to Gov. Jared Polis and a panel convened Tuesday by the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce as part of its annual state of the state luncheon that follows the end of the legislative session. Mowa Haile, the CEO of Sky Blue Builders who chairs the chamber board, noted that, in the last year, the state has gained more than $2 billion in capital investment, along with 1,000 jobs. Colorado is still an amazing state, he said. “But we see cracks,” Haile said. Several issues today make Colorado less competitive for businesses, he said,...

University of Colorado Adds Plain-Clothed Police to Monitor Fan Behavior

By Heather Willard | KDVR FOX31 DENVER (KDVR) — The University of Colorado Boulder is adding new procedures to its football games after fans shouted “expletives and religious slurs” in the stands during a home game against Brigham Young University. The game took place on Sept. 27, and the Buffaloes lost 24-21 to the private religious university’s team. Still, fans’ conduct during the game led to CU’s chancellor and athletic director releasing a joint statement condemning the actions taken, as well as a public apology from Coach Deion Sanders during his weekly press conference. On the same day, the Big 12 Conference admonished the school for “inappropriate chants” that were described as “hateful and discriminatory language,” and leveled a $50,000 fine ...

University of Colorado Faces Labor Complaint from Medical Residents

By John Ingold | The Colorado Sun The University of Colorado Housestaff Association, which represents medical and surgical residents and fellows, has filed a complaint with state labor officials. The organization that represents doctors-in-training at the University of Colorado has filed a complaint with state labor officials alleging that the school retaliated against it over its quest for collective bargaining rights.

It says the university also excluded it from meetings, blocked it from organizing activities and ended t...

Three Judges Taught at CU While Ruling on University Cases

Pielke Jr: How To Get Rid of a Tenured Professor

By Roger Pielke Jr. | Reason I was a tenured full professor at the University of Colorado Boulder for almost 24 years. At the end of 2024, I left. Officially, it was a voluntary departure. But I sure felt like I'd been pushed out. My story started in 2015, when Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D–Ariz.) asked the university to investigate me. He alleged that I may have been secretly taking money from Exxon in exchange for the substance of my congressional testimonies, in which I reported on the consensus scientific findings of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—that while heat waves and extreme precipitation had increased, there was vanishingly little evidence to support claims that hurricanes, floods, and drought have become more common or intense. I was not taking E...
