No Confession without Truth: The Firing of Professor Julie Moore

Footnotes with Jemar Tisby

In what is becoming a disturbing pattern in Christian higher education, I was contacted by another professor who was fired for her teachings about racial justice. Professor Julie Moore, formerly of Taylor University, taught a composition class with a racial justice theme. She's been doing this for years. But in January of 2023, her provost refused to renew her contract. As part of the paltry evidence for the dismissal, he cited a quote from me that Professor Moore used in the introduction to her syllabus. Listen to Professor Moore's story as well as how she and Professor Sam Joeckel are calling the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) to act.
