A Win for Christians
Posted on May 7, 2007
We read:
“A Christian college in Western Pennsylvania and a faith-based coalition can use a state-sponsored job site specifically to hire Christians, according to the settlement of a religious discrimination suit.
Attorneys for Geneva College in Beaver Falls and the Association of Faith-Based Organizations, a coalition in Springfield, Va., filed the federal suit over Pennsylvania’s online CareerLink job-listing site in December. The state and federal governments were named as defendants.
The plaintiffs argued they were wrongly denied use of the employment service, which includes an Internet service called CareerLink. The service has a nondiscrimination policy barring job postings that require applicants to have particular religious backgrounds….
The settlement said Geneva could use the CareerLink site because the college did not receive federal Workforce Investment Act funding.
