"Let's face it, ... Sir Thomas More would have been denied tenure today ..."

Sounds like a fairly accurate assessment by this commenter at Fumare of the continuing mess taking place at Ave Maria School of Law.

Not that tenure at that particular institution means anything, mind you.

Last week, Dale Price described the situation at AMSOL as "an absolute disgrace":

Obviously, I don't have all the details, but from what I know of the persons involved and the dreadful treatment of professors at AMSoL (Charles Rice) who don't get with the Florida program, I'm siding with the professors.

That, and there's nothing remotely Catholic about tearing away the livelihood of a husband and father of seven. Few of the people I have criticized on this blog have done anything remotely as rancid. When a public face of "orthodox" [sic] Catholicism does things like this, no wonder people flinch away from it. And rightfully so.

For more on the destruction (at the hands of Tom Monaghan and his sycophantic minions) of what made AMSOL attractive to begin with, see here, here, here, here, here, and here.


UPDATE (9 August)
It just gets worse.
