Conservative college faces faculty exodus: Academic freedom at issue

A small evangelical Christian college focused on shaping home-schooled students for careers in public service will lose about one-third of its faculty after several professors at the young school charged that their academic freedoms were violated.

Administrators at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia, which opened in 2000, called the professors’ claims “patently, categorically false” and said the school’s vision for classical liberal arts remains intact.
