Inside Higher Ed: Faith, Science and Academic Freedom
In two cases involving matters of both religious faith and due process, the American Association of University Professors has released reports charging that colleges have violated the academic freedom of professors.
In one report, the association finds that Illinois’s Olivet Nazarene University is violating the rights of a professor who believes in evolution by barring him from teaching an entry-level biology course that he taught for years, and by banning the use in the curriculum of a book he wrote arguing that people of faith can still believe in evolution. In the other report, the association finds that Cedarville University, in Ohio, inappropriately fired a professor who argued that the institution was moving away from its theological roots.
