DISGRACED HISTORIAN JOSEPH ELLIS is back teaching at Mt. Holyoke. Ellis’s sins — inflating his Vietnam War record in class (he served in the military, but not in Vietnam) — never went to his scholarship. Amusingly, in this story he’s being criticized by Emory historian David Garrow, who says the college should not be putting “someone with this track record back in front of its students.”

To be fair, I think that Garrow has been pretty critical of Michael Bellesiles, too.
