Beckwith Denied Tenure as Revenge
Last Friday, Baylor University denied Francis Beckwith tenure. The reason? Nothing official, but the school is not fooling anyone. He is an outspoken evangelical who has written on church-state relations, abortion, and intelligent design. Let's just say Beckwith is often not popular amongst many of today's academic elites.
A graduate student at Baylor has written an informative article in response to this decision: "Tenure Denial as Revenge." It is well worth reading. This article opens our eyes to the reality of our higher educational institutions today.

Wow, unbelievable! I heard him speak a couple of years ago in San Antonio (ETS) and he really impressed me (he's a big dude too). Hopefully this will put some pressure on Baylor to reconsider.
