H/t The Sensuous Curmudgeon
| Quote | Former Baylor president Robert Sloan's "2012 Vision" continues, at least for now. This vision rests on two pillars, seeking to establish Baylor both as a top research university and as a school faithful to its Christian heritage. Secularized faculty, who are in the majority at Baylor and forced Sloan's removal (he is now president of Houston Baptist University), see Baylor's Christian heritage as a liability and would like to make the university's slide into secularization complete.
...
Ken Starr, who becomes Baylor's new president June 1, therefore faces a crucial test: ... The question is what he will do regarding Baylor's Christian identity.
...
Such optimism would be better justified if incoming Baylor president Ken Starr were to reinstate the Evolutionary Informatics Lab's website on the Baylor server and to recognize Intelligent Design as a legitimate area of research for Baylor faculty. That would constitute a true vindication of Marks' work on Intelligent Design. It would also constitute a true validation of Starr's commitment to the full Baylor 2012 Vision. |
So, would giving ID a free pass back into Baylor help the "research" or "Christian heritage" bit of the 2012 Vision? |
ID was more fun when they at least pretended it wasn't about Christianity.
