From New Hampshire-Hanover — The new dean of Dartmouth College’s Tucker Foundation is not set to start his job until the spring, but he is already facing criticism about his views on homosexuality.
Dartmouth announced James Tengatenga’s appointment on Tuesday to the foundation, which is the religious hub at Dartmouth that works to further the moral and spiritual work of the college.
Tengatenga is currently the diocesan bishop of southern Malawi. As a member of the Anglican church, he has sided publicly with the church’s position against homosexuality.
In a letter released Thursday by Dartmouth’s office of public affairs, Tengatenga wrote, “So, let me be clear. I support marriage equality and equal rights for everyone, and I look forward to working with everyone at Dartmouth — everyone. I believe that discrimination of any kind is sinful.”
Tengatenga has come under fire by the Dartmouth chapter of the NAACP and Dartblog, which is run by Dartmouth alumnus and prominent college critic Joe Asch.
