A professor in Wisconsin has been suspended after criticizing the school’s controversial criteria for choosing a new president.
QUICK FACTS:
- Dr. Greg Schulz was abruptly and indefinitely suspended from teaching at Concordia University Wisconsin after writing an article that was published in Christian News, questioning the school’s Board of Regent’s guidelines for choosing a new president.
- Schulz wrote in the article that he was skeptical about the university “publicly announcing their determination to have a president who exhibits a ‘demonstrated belief in and commitment to equity and inclusion’ and who promotes racialized ‘diversity in all its myriad forms.'”
- “While there is no systemic racism at Concordia because we are committed to Christ incarnate and His universal justification of all human beings without exception, there certainly is systemic Woke-ism,” Schulz said.
SCHULZ COLLEAGUE ON HIS SUSPENSION:
“It became patently obvious that the charges against Schulz are ridiculous.”
BACKGROUND:
- Schluz’ department chair, Dr. Angus Menuge, told The Federalist that the professor was informed of his suspension and ban from campus after not being able to log in to his campus email last month.
- “I have since contacted the president and asked him to reconsider and I have received no response whatsoever,” Menuge said. “Are we being told that you have to mute your Christianity so that it conforms to these ideologies of niceness and all of it? If so, that has a chilling effect on not only academic freedom but also on the Christian conscience.”
- In his suspension letter, Schulz was accused of “Insubordination; lying to administration about actions taken,” “Conduct unbecoming a Christian,” and “Not following faculty grievance or dispute process,” Newsmax reported.
