Product Description

In 2000, I became the first full-time female professor in Calvin Theological Seminary's 125-year history. In 2003, a new three-man administration, without warning, removed me from tenure track and gave me a terminal appointment. I was single and fifty-seven. That decision set me reeling. I was stunned and deeply shamed. For more than three years, amid a massive cover-up, I fought for justice, finally being allowed to have my case reviewed by outside independent mediators. Among other points in my favor, their report concluded that I should be appointed full professor, be awarded retroactive pay and "The allegations of 'ungodly' behavior will be deleted and acknowledged by administration to be inflammatory." Their decision was not binding. None of the above was granted. I did not apply for re-appointment. Had I remained at the school I would have been required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Here I tell my own story and those of others who have been unfairly fired in Christian Academia.
