Professor at the University of Wisconsin, Superior

Summary

In 2010, a tenured professor of biology at University of Wisconsin-Supreior contacted ADF when Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a demand letter to the University Chancellor, accusing the professor of proselytizing to students. (In reality, the professor maintains a personal faculty webpage that describes his faith background and how it relates to his science research about evolutionary theory.) ADF sent an informational letter to the University, asking it to correct the factual record. The University took no action against this professor and did not ask him to change his websites or courses.
