Civics: academic freedom

Wisconsin institute for law and liberty:

On Saturday, February 19, 2022, Concordia University Wisconsin suspended Rev. Dr. Gregory Schulz, a full professor of philosophy and Lutheran pastor. At first, Dr. Schulz did not know why he was suspended because the University locked him out of his email account and banned him from campus properties. By Monday, things had become more clear: Concordia’s leadership suspended Dr. Schulz because of an articlehe wrote in Christian News critiquing the University’s recent embrace of “woke-ness” and “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” Even though Dr. Schulz’s employment contract with the University guarantees “academic freedom” and “due process,” the University gave him neither freedom nor process. Now, Concordia threatens to terminate Dr. Schulz unless he publicly “recants.”
