From The Chronicle of Higher Education-The General Theological Seminary, in New York City, has fired eight of its 10 full-time faculty members after they walked off the job on Friday to highlight their complaints about a president they accused of creating a hostile workplace, according to The New York Times and the blogs Episcopal Café and Anglican Ink.
The faculty members sent a letter to the institution’s Board of Trustees on September 17 detailing their complaints about the Very Rev. Kurt H. Dunkle, who is dean and president of the Episcopal seminary. The professors said they had alerted the board several times over the past year about their concerns that Dean Dunkle was abrasive and overcontrolling. But the board’s chairman, Bishop Mark S. Sisk, said that the trustees had felt blindsided by the severity of the complaints in the September 17 letter.
