Case Overview

FIRE Victory closed

At North Shore Community College, FIREbecame concerned about the threat to freedom of conscience posed by NSCC's job announcement requiring "Appreciation of multiculturalism" for a full-time faculty member in the school's English Department. This requirement imposed a political litmus test on job candidates and forced a faculty member to maintain a fundamental viewpoint with which he or she might not have agreed. After FIREwrote NSCC President Wayne Burton about his college's violation of freedom of conscience, NSCC agreed to keep this requirement out of all present and future job announcements.
