A complete cave-in by MSU:
"Missouri State University has settled a lawsuit filed by a graduate who claimed her freedoms of speech and religion had been violated. The university agreed to pay Emily Brooker, a May 2006 graduate, $9,000. Officials also said she could attend Missouri State to pursue a master's degree in social work free of charge for two years - equivalent to about $12,000. In addition, Brooker could receive $3,000 per year in living expenses for two years of graduate education. MSU also agreed to clear Brooker's official record of a high-level grievance filed against her by the university's School of Social Work....
The lawsuit alleged that Kauffman demanded that students sign a letter supporting homosexuals being foster parents. Brooker refused to sign the letter, which was written by Kauffman, because she said the issue it supported went against her Christian beliefs. ... After the university's investigation, Kauffman voluntarily gave up his post as director of the master of social work program and was reassigned to nonclassroom duties.
