By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney Gregory S. Baylor writing at the Academic Freedom File: "The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) has wrongly declared that Trinity Western University (TWU) violates academic freedom because of its Christ-centered character. CAUT bases its conclusion upon two facts. First, TWU draws its faculty and staff from among those who voluntarily embrace its Statement of Faith . . . Second, TWU 'rejects as incompatible with human nature and revelational theism a definition of academic freedom which arbitrarily and exclusively requires pluralism without commitment, denies the existence of any fixed points of reference, maximizes the quest for truth to the extent of assuming it is never knowable, and implies an absolute freedom from moral and religious responsibility to its community.'"
