The Board of Regents of the University of Colorado voted on Tuesday night to fire Ward Churchill, nearly six years after the professor compared some American victims of terrorism to a Nazi bureaucrat. News of Mr. Churchill’s dismissal prompted the following calculations:

The number of months since Ward Churchill posted his essay “Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens,” in which he called victims of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center “little Eichmanns”: 71

The number of months since Mr. Churchill and his essay first came to the attention of Bill O’Reilly: 30

The number of subsequent episodes of The O’Reilly Factor in which Mr. Churchill’s name has been mentioned at least four times: 79

The number of American citizens that would need to be killed to “attain an actual proportional parity of damage” to exact revenge for Iraqis killed in the 1991 Gulf War and subsequent U.S. sanctions, according to Mr. Churchill’s essay: 7.5 million

The number of “Ward Churchills” on university campuses across the country, according to David Horowitz: Thousands

The number of American Indians killed by a smallpox epidemic that originated in 1837 at Fort Clark, in present-day North Dakota, after the U.S. Army intentionally distributed infected blankets, according to Mr. Churchill, who cites Russell Thornton, an anthropologist at the University of California at Los Angeles: At least 125,000

The number of American Indians actually killed by that smallpox outbreak, according to Mr. Thornton, who says the epidemic originated on a riverboat and was transmitted “perhaps by deckhands who unloaded merchandise, perhaps by chiefs who went aboard a few days later, or perhaps by women and children who went aboard at the same time”: At most 30,000
