College Professor Lost His Job Because He Got Divorced

nytimes.com — Of all the reasons a professor could be leaving the college where he has taught for the last 20 years, the one for Kent Gramm ’s departure is peculiar: He is getting divorced, the college demands an explanation, and he refuses to give one. So he resigned before they fired him.

    Separation of personal and work life is essential, if he gets fired for it, would you really want to work for a place like that?

    This already made the front page.

    My comment from that story: "He signed an agreement with said college about divorces and his faith, and his divorce didn't comply with said agreement when he declined to explain the circumstances of the divorce. Nobody forced him to sign this agreement at gunpoint. Hell, the college offered him a year to find another job."

    Welcome to last week. Nevertheless, I think this deserves more front page time.
