Christian Professor Finds Christ, Loses Promotion, Files Lawsuit, by Mark Overton, Charisma News
"Dr. Mike Adams, a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina–Wilmington, was a favorite among colleagues—until his conversion to Christianity from atheism.
"After his conversion in 2000, which impacted his views on political and social issues, Adams was subjected to intrusive investigations, baseless accusations and the denial of promotion to full professor even though his scholarly output surpassed that of almost all of his colleagues.
"In a lawsuit filed against the university on Adams’ behalf, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys contend that the university denied Adams a promotion because his nationally syndicated opinion columns espoused religious and political views that ran contrary to the opinions held by university officials."
