Qualified Candidates Need Not Apply
Published by Blandus March 3rd, 2006 in UncategorizedStraight from the Charleston Gazette, University of Charleston has run into problems with its idiotic belief that a theist might be better qualified to discuss the daily implications of belief in God:
University of Charleston officials plan to revise a job posting that legal experts say breaks the law because it says applicants “must embrace a belief in God.”
The advertisement, which appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education this week, asks for applicants for the Herchiel and Elizabeth Sims “In God We Trust” Chair in Ethics.
Prospective employees “must embrace a belief in God and present moral and ethical values from a God-centered perspective,” according to the ad.
“Where we were in error is to say that the person himself or herself had to believe that,” Welch said.
In related news, Indiana University has decided to hire an Economics professor to replace outgoing basketball coach Mike Davis, who resigned in February:
Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan said . . . he would not appoint a search committee but [will receive] feedback regarding candidates, then [bring] the top ones to the president.“There will be 247,000 individual search committees,” Greenspan said. “I’m already hearing from a lot of people who say they have talked to this [math tutor] or that [ethics chair] and know they’re interested in the job.”
