Christian university faculty issues vote of no confidence after board upholds biblical hiring policy

Seattle Pacific University, a private evangelical Christian and Wesleyan college in Seattle, enrolls around 3,500 students and adheres to the biblical definition of human sexuality, according to a university statement.

SPU’s Faculty Senate obtained responses from around 90% of the faculty on the board’s decision last week to maintain that policy despite objections from some in the school community. ..
