[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

So you're saying this is a non-story because it's OK for a school to curtail the Constitutional rights of its employees (freedom of association, freedom of religion, freedom of expression/speech), on their own time just as long as it isn't curtailing the rights of the students? I didn't read anything about forcible Bible studies, so I assume it was voluntary. I wonder if an openly homosexual RA would have his sexual practices protected, regardless of any students (religious or irreligious) found him "unapproachable."

RAs live in the dorms. Are they therefore 24/7 employees and thus must relinquish all of their Constitutional rights as long as they want employment? I think there have been at least a couple of cases that indicate that an employee is not an indentured servant and still has some civil rights.

Well, truth be known there does appear to be a double standard at work here. Vagina Monologues good, Bible study bad.

Of course it doesn't matter one way or the other, the university has run afoul of the fees speech clause, the free exercise clause and the common freaking sense clause.
