Professor Banned For Calling Out Racism At Christian University Negotiates His Return
It’s been more than a year since Dr. Greg Schulz was suspended from Concordia University Wisconsin for publicly objecting to its board of regents inserting racial prejudices into its criteria for a new president. Interim president Dr. William Cario suspended the tenured philosophy professor on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022, immediately banning Schulz from campus and his university email, according to legal documentation. 💬 “The issue is not my personality, it was not some clash with people and their feelings. This is a doctrinal issue,” Schulz said in a phone interview. Racial partiality is forbidden by the Bible and the theology of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), the denomination that appoints regents to Concordia’s 18-member board. “I think a lot of the wokeness depends on us being cowardly and inclined to be quiet for the sake of temporary peace,” Schulz said. ● Another key commitment, Schulz said, would be a public repudiation of racism tolerated in the name of buzzwords such as “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion,” and “anti-racism” that excuse giving preferences for a person’s skin color or ancestry. The denomination’s leader called for Concordia to do exactly that last May. It has yet to happen.
