Taking Things Too Far
From The Advocate:
"Shorter University in Rome, Ga., has started requiring employees not to engage in un-Christianlike behavor, such as premarital sex, adultery, and sexual acts with someone of the same gender.
Employees at the Christian university must also agree not to drink in public out of fear that students will see them, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. They were also have told faculty members not to attend a school event if they've consumed alcohol within six hours of the event's start time.
The rules are outlined in a new "Personal Lifestyle Statement" being issued to its 200 employees. The statement was approved by the school's board of trustees on Oct. 21.
Shorter University President Don Dowless said anyone refusing to sign the agreement could face termination. Still, more than a thousand people have signed a petition asking to ditch the new policy. "
A bit ridiculous. What is interesting is that even though the University only has 200 employees, nearly 1700 people have signed the petition. We know, signing an online petition isn't as powerful as an in life one, however, when you don't live in the area its often one of those things you can do to show support. Another thing? Write the president of the University a well-thought out, and polite, letter showing why the policy is incorrect.
