Christian University Bans Professor From Campus For Critiquing Its 'Equity' Dive

A professor was locked out of his classes and email account without warning in apparent retaliation for criticizing his Christian university’s use of “diversity” and “equity” as criteria for selecting its new president, he and several witnesses told The Federalist. The Rev. Dr. Greg Schulz was...

I guess this could be fake news. If not, then is CUW still a seminary ...is it still Lutheran ...is it still Christian? And what can be said of the LCMS?
I guess I have to agree with a lament that Pr. Schultz expressed toward the end of his interview with Todd Wilken: If anyone would come to his defense, let him understand that it could cost him his job.

I don't know if it is true or not. The Federalist is a questionable source for news, so it may ir may not be true. We shall see...it appears to be true. But I don't know how accurate Shulz's criticism is of CUW's "woke" policy. Or vice-versa. Our church has repeatedly condemned racism in any form. So. I can't really comment about what happened.

...did a cursory search, looks legit. See this link. Hard to tell exactly what's going on, but given the current state, of things, nothing would surprise me.

 

[Bonnie]

Yes, it is. I think what was done to this professor was a bit draconian, but again, I don't know enough of what each side believes about all of this to make a judgment, one way or another. Time will tell, I guess.

 

[catechumen]

I take heart that this issue has come to the attention of the LCMS president Pr. Harrison but am concerned this his attention is a reaction to the "concern in the church" when it should have been drawn by the state of affairs that would have ever allowed for the firing of Pr. Shultz. This thing was not done in a corner; surely the president of CUW felt the wind at his back when he took the action he did!

Harrison issues letter regarding recent events at CUW

LCMS President Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison asks for patience and prayers as events at Concordia University Wisconsin cause concern in the church.

[Bonnie]

Again, I don't know enough about both sides to make any kind of judgment. I hope and pray Harrison and the president of CUW make the right decision.

That means The Federalist is Not approved left wing Fake News? Left wing bias on sources.

Wait, the professor knows if he has been fired

The Federalist is anti-abortion and posted on the Hunter laptop which is 2 reasons they clash with your LW sources.

I'm a fan of Pr. Schultz. It's a shame that culture seems to act in lieu of the Holy Spirit for many.

Our church is anti-abortion, as is The Lutheran Witness, the LCMS official magazine, and do am I, which means we are not left wingers at all. But abortion and the Hunter laptop have zero to do with the OP, so why are you trying to change the subject? Please stick to the OP.

However, the article is legit, as it can be found in other online publications.

This chart is interesting, but doesn't show how accurate each publication is. I have a link to another type of chart that is similar to this one you posted, but also shows accuracy. Let me see if I can find it. it is by Ad Fontes Media.

it is a bit hard to read, unless one "blows" it up with one's fingers. I signed up for it, so I get updates in my email. The Federalist is kind of middling between accurate and inaccurate. I like AP news and The Hill the best.

But I still don't know enough of what the beef is from both sides to make an informed opinion, other than to say that what happened to Dr. Shultz does seem a bit draconian.

Yes, it is legit. Thanks

What it means is that the Federalist is not always accurate, which means that one should investigate articles in it, to see if they are found in other journals, and not automatically believe everything the Federalist has in it. I did investigate, and this time, at least, it was accurate.

Now, back to the OP, if you please.

Thanks for the chart, I'll give it a look I do appreciate it.
I haven't read these things beyond hearing what happened. I know I appreciate Dr. Schultz as both a pastor and a professor. I think Dr. Schultz is solid.

I only read the article. It is a ridiculous situation in which the judgement and actions of the interim president of a Christian school are questionable.

 

[catechumen]

I realize that adherents to the Lutheran confessions are in the decline but I never imagined that a Concordia seminary would participate in their attrition.

From the article you referenced:
"The institution with a $107 million annual budget gets significant income from federal student loans. Accepting those loans requires accreditation, which mandates racial policies at odds with Christian teachings about the equal and priceless value of all humans, who are created in God’s image." (emphasis added)

Many years ago we discussed receiving government funds for our church school (WELS), but rejected the idea because there would be strings attached to it.
