the G-man said:
openly Christian university professors feel a bit out of sorts on the University of Georgia and other American campuses these days.




But it's not universal.

My friend, a Ph. D. molecular geneticist, was pursued by Miami of Ohio, my alma mater, for well over a year. My friend is a Conservative Catholic in the classic tradition of Indiana Republicans. EVERY OTHER PROFESSOR in the Zoology faculty at Miami is Liberal Democrat. Yet they wanted my friend, politics be damned.

Yet they wooed my friend so strongly that he finally couldn't turn them down with all they were offering him (as well as a chance to return to our hometown)...$$, tenure, on-campus perks, sports tickets, etc.

My friend may feel politically "out of sorts," but he's one solid piece of anecdotal evidence that any kind of "discrimination against Conservatives" is either overstated or fairly minor. And he's never expressed one iota of concern about how his politics will mesh with those of his new colleagues.
